France: Computer research in archaeology threatened by the CNRS. Statement of the CAA-FR Since the beginning of the summer, several joint research units (UMRs) in the humanities and social sciences are threatened with closure due to the withdrawal of the CNRS as their supervisory body. The CAA-FR contests the CNRS management’s policy of differentiating between and creating competition among its own research units. This strategy of concentrating resources in a small number of units demonstrates a lack of long-term vision and an ignorance of the insights from social and historical study of scientific activities. It also shows a blind disregard for the consequences of these reforms, which can be seen in the research systems in countries where they were implemented earlier, such as the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Australia. [...] The CAA-FR is a research network dedicated to developing computational and quantitative methods in archaeology in France. As such, CAA-FR is deeply concerned about the threat to the “CITERES‘” research unit in Tours, which is one of the few laboratories in France where work has been conducted for decades at the intersection of archaeology, computer science, and mathematics. More broadly, the CAA-FR expresses its solidarity with, and support for, the research teams and staff who are suffering of the CNRS management’s brutal strategy. The CAA-FR also calls on all research collectives to protest against this strategy.

My PKM Webnotes now comes with default content. This means that you could deploy a version of it for your own use, eg in a class where default notes contain an assignment, instructions, guidance. Code results (including plots) can be copied to clipboard via the ui. Each note has its own state so variables don't bleed from one note into another. External data loading enabled. https://pkm-webnotes.netlify.app/ and repo: https://github.com/shawngraham/pkmwebnotes #dh #pkm #archaeology #histodons

For #EpigraphyTuesday a wooden barrel found in a well in the #Roman settlement at Aalen with the name GAIVS COTTIVS FLORENTINVS branded in, probably the merchant or owner of the barrel. Barrels were used for the transport and the storage of wine. This one was reused as a lining for a base of a well. The damp environment has preserved it in a good condition.

On display at our branch museum Limesmuseum Aalen

A large, weathered wooden barrel with visible wood grain and several signs of age, such as worn, cracked, and uneven planks, displayed upright in a glass museum case. The barrel appears structurally intact but shows significant wear and damage, with broken or missing sections at the top and bottom edges

There are so many amazing finds from prehistoric pile dwellings settlements: 3,500-year-old wooden whisks found in settlements at the Lake Carera/Italy.
By rotating the shaft, it’s possible to whip cream until it turns into butter. Larger whisks were presumably used for making cheese. This type of whisk was used until the 20th century.
Dating ca. 1650-1350 BC.
