Wanted to show this to @archeaids but figured I’d share it with everyone. It’s an old blog post about visiting an #Indigenous midden with ancient pottery shards off the coast of #Louisiana. The site was almost lost, getting submerged by water due to sea level rise. Local tribes have intervened since then. It’s a very short post with lots of photos.

Skara Brae, Neolithic village on the Bay of Skaill, Orkney.

The ruins were only revealed by a severe storm in 1850. So much of our past enduring just below the surface of things, beneath fields, supermarkets, roads, the shale layers of each successive wave of humans.

This well-preserved early medieval wooden flask once contained a beer that had been strengthened with honey.
It was found in Trossingen. Due to the water-logged condition of the area, many wooden objects have survived.
Dating 580 AD.

A 3,000- year-old #sword made of firwood found in Lake Inkwil, Switzerland. Most likely, it was a #toy sword for #children. The lake is known for its pile-dwelling settlement from the late Bronze Age (1,200–800 BC).
