Corded Ware head hunter warrior chief buried in c.2900 BC Poland.
"The man had been buried with two human heads, amber beads, a flint blade, a necklace made of 42 animal teeth, and a battle ax made of serpentinite, a greenish rock."
This necklace made of 42 animal teeth is just one of the unusual finds unearthed in a Neolithic burial in Poland. The man, perhaps a warrior 5,000 years ago, was also accompanied by amber beads, a battle ax made of serpentinite ... and two human heads.

So crazy that in Sardinia there are THOUSANDS of bronze age ruins like this across the landscape.
The Bronze Age temple of Malchittu, northern Sardinia. Built by the Nuragic civilisation at the top of a rocky hill!

my first attempt at the "ribbed shale conical bead" its tiny only 14 mm diameter but i managed to get the lush finish. Next to it is the material i started with, i am so in love with Kimmeridge shale used in these grave goods so long ago

Some times you have to smash it out of the park, for me its a bit of a OMG moment when you make something so beautiful it exceeds expectations
Kimmeridge shale is such a joy material to work and bronze makes it possible to drill fine holes 4000 years ago

After much ado and somewhere near 144 beads, i realised i had to polish each side before string them
I added the two amber bound gold disks (to be ) and will look though "the book" psb for a toggle to fasten it
I used waxed hemp for the cord but the owner might change it

STOP! 🛑
Whatever your plans are today, you must CANCEL them.
You must watch this video today.
You must be LATE for that thing you have on. Give your BABY an iPad to play with. Make your GRANDMA get the bus instead of driving her.
Until then, stay on HIGH ALERT.
Thank you.

A massive cultural divide between the correct native British diet of roast beef, dairy and bread, and the vile foreign invader diet of boiled North Sea fishes.
No wonder we didn't like those guys 🤢

Nuraghe Adoni, a Bronze Age colossus in the heartland of Sardinia. These structures are a highly debated topic, as despite their obvious parallels to medieval castles, it seems that there is yet to be any evidence of conflict directed at the Nuraghe. #bronzeage
This little pendant / toggle is interesting. It was found in association with one of the Boscombe Bowmen (early Beaker folk burials). Similar ‘bow pendants’ are found in Germany and the Czech Republic dating to the same era. #bronzeage

Jesse, Steve, Laddy, and Vlad….such an incredible feeling to welcome you aboard Integrity after a nearly 700,000 mile journey. Forever thankful for your service to our crew and the nation.
I’ve seen 3 Ravens in 2 days. A pair of them flew around the hill I sat on yesterday while walking my dog, and a third landed on a tree next to where I was working today.
I’ve been very lucky recently. This is my new pot, the Alwinton food vessel (2000 to 1800 BC) and my out of this world replica Lozenge based on the one found with the Bush Barrow Chieftain made by my dear friend @neil_burridge
