Ever see the Norse arrow points from Greenland carved out of antler? I think these are so neat.

Also here’s the axe head made out of whalebone from Sandnes in the western settlement. I always thought this would be a cool experimental archaeology project to make one and see if you could split anything with it.

I’m curious how the axe would have been hafted since there doesn’t appear to be a traditional “socket” like metal ones of this type. It would have to have been fitted into the haft rather than the other way around.

I remember a series of educational films about the Middle Ages - I think called “The Way It Was” - that was essentially a collection of every bogus trivia point I’ve ever heard. We watched it in high school.

It was framed like the nightly news but in the Middle Ages. Anyone in school in the 90s remember this? It features “Ring around the Rosie”, “pepper hides rotting meat”, etc. All the hits, really.

What was the quintessential Valentine’s Day song of the mid 90s? It’s gotta either be “I Swear” or “Truly Madly Deeply” right?

Ok. Getting rid of or diluting block/mute will be the thing that makes this site unusable for me.

As a person with regular, vivid, memorable dreams, I am asking: Is it weird to tell people you had a dream about them?

Not to call attention to the guy who is mad about not getting attention, but man that is some rich, creamy garmonbozia.

Photos from inside a 3D printed scale model of Hvalsey Church, Greenland. I was shining a light through the windows to look at how light it got inside. Not very scientific, but fun.

Here’s the sun rising over the digital model the physical one was printed from. The astronomy program left something to be desired in terms of geography but this is supposedly the right longitude/latitude.

I think this project would have been really cool if I had had some collaborators and some resources but alas such is the lot of the lonely adjunct.
