Extracts (Word Count: 289, Estimated Reading Time: 1 to 2 minutes)

A structure [with a unique shape has been discovered] in France …

[The] French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP) unearthed the monument while excavating a prehistoric site in… Marliens. …

“This type of monument seems unprecedented,” notes INRAP… “As of now, it has been impossible to make a comparison.”

Researchers [used] a “plethora of artifacts” found at the site [to estimate its date]. These include a bundle of seven stone arrowheads, a couple of protective armbands worn by archers, a flint lighter and a copper-alloy dagger.

[T]hese items may date back to the time of the Bell Beaker culture, which originated in the Iberian Peninsula and spread across Europe some 4,500 years ago. …

[E]vidence of human occupation from later periods, including several wells thought to date to the Early Bronze Age, [has also been discovered at the site]. …

[T]he Middle-Late Bronze Age … is [also] represented on site by a necropolis consisting of five circular enclosures. None of the [bones of those buried at the site have survived except those that had been cremated]. But five [copper alloy] pins … and a[n amber] necklace … found nearby suggest … date[s] … between 1500 and 1300 B.C.E.

[A] second necropolis [at the site contains] six urns holding cremated remains, [and] a cache of bracelets and rings. Researchers believe this burial ground dates to the First Iron Age …

…

[S]cholars are … studying the remains to learn … about the funerary practices of the[ir] society ….

The … monument remains this site’s oldest and most unique feature. Researchers have … made no determinations about the structure’s purpose or exact date of creation.

““…radiocarbon analyses are underway to clarify the chronology of this monument.” [the statement says]

Extremely rare' 3,000-year-old sword discovered in Germany is so well preserved it SHINES, archaeologists say. In 2023, The weapon, believed to be 3,000 years old, was dug up in the small town of Nordlingen last week. Experts were shocked it was so well preserved that it actually shined, despite laying in a grave of three people. The three bodies included a man, woman and teenager, with researchers left puzzled over whether they were related. 'The sword and burial still have to be examined for our archeologists to further classify this find,' said Mathias Pfeil, head of the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments. 'But it can already be said now that the preservation is exceptional! A find like this one is really rare.' Despite its age, the sword's zig-zag pattern is still completely visible, punctuated with studs and rivets. While experts believe it was difficult to create, they are convinced it was a real weapon, designed for sharp cuts. At the time, there were just a few European hotspots for trading these types of swords, including southern Germany, north Germany and Denmark. Swords from Nordlingen often belonged to the 'Urns' during this period- distinguished by their custom of cremation during the late Bronze era. While Urnfield culture is believed to have first appeared in northern Italy and eastern-Europe, this reached various other countries such as Germany and Ukraine. Warlike behaviour is thought to have spread through members of this community at the time, just before the Tumulus Culture era commenced. This saw a huge advancement in Bronze weaponry and armour. However, the team remain unsure where this newly-found sword was made and will be investigating further in due course. They even point to 'wandering craftsmen' and imports as a potential source of the sword. The German discovery comes just months after a 3,000-year-old toddler's shoe was found in a north Kent riverbed.

Bronze Age Burial Mound Found Surrounded by Iron Age Cremation Burials

Archaeologists have uncovered a large Bronze Age burial mound surrounded by Iron Age cremation burials in Petershagen-Windheim, Germany.

The discovery was made in preparation for the expansion of the Wesling gravel works, revealing a cremation cemetery with numerous urns that date from 2,000-years-ago.

“We knew from aerial photographs that there was very likely a burial site hidden in the ground here,” explains Dr. Sven Spiong, head of the LWL Archaeology branch in Bielefeld. “The outer border of a burial mound and the circular ditch was visible in the vegetation.”

According to the archaeologists, the Bronze Age mound would have been clearly visible in the landscape during the Iron Age, which was used as a guide for placing urns by the so-called Nienburg group culture.

Evidence of cremation burials and funeral pyres from the 2nd century BC until the late 1st century BC have also been identified, which will undergo a radio carbon analysis to establish a more precise timeline.

Sebastian Düvel from LWL Archaeology, said: “The monuments, which are still clearly visible centuries after they were built, represented an important reference point in the landscape. In this case, they were the central element for further burials in the 7th to 5th centuries BC and in the 2nd to 1st centuries BC. The new sites clearly consolidate the image of an extensive burial landscape with dozens of mounds and adjacent burials along the Westphalian Middle Weser.”

Multiple cremations, where you mix cremated remains from Multiple family members before burying the urn, are a thing that archaeologist didn't used to look for, but know know to be a rite common across parts of the British bronze age and bitsof the roman wirld, smongst other places, and its still almost impossible to spot.

Ancient cremated remains aren't ash: modern cremations are ashy because we put the chunky burnt bone lumps in a machine called a cremulator, which uses either vibration or blunt force from rotating weights to break down the lumps and no, I have no idea why we do this, I guess at some point the Victorians just desired the lumps were unsightly.

Dna is a non starter for cremations that old, and most identifying structures in the bone that might help you determine sex (pelvic notch, brow ridges, ratio of femur length to femur head radius) or age ( tooth wear, arthritis, unfused epethisial ends of bones) are gone, so your going thing the cremation vibeing and listening to a Simon Whistler podcast while looking at tiny (5 to 20mm) lumps of bone and then youll be like " huh, ear hole" (the annulus tympanicus in children, part of the temporal bone once the skull fuses in adults, it always seems to survive the flames, don't ask me why) "Thats the third one so far. Oh fuck, why does this person have three ear holes? Ooooh... how many people is this?"

My record is two adults, a child and a dog and shit i've just outed what i do for a living.

How to Choose a Casket or Urn: Options for Every Preference and Budget

When it comes to honoring the life of a loved one, selecting the right casket or urn is a deeply personal choice that reflects their personality, values, and the special memories you shared together. With a variety of options available, choosing a casket or urn can feel overwhelming, especially when factoring in your budget and preferences. In this guide, we’ll help you navigate through the options and make a meaningful choice that fits both your emotional and financial needs.

For more information on our services, visit Faith Funeral Service.

1. Types of Caskets: Material and Design Options

Caskets come in a range of materials, each offering a unique aesthetic and price point. Here are some common types:

Metal Caskets: Metal caskets, including stainless steel, copper, and bronze, are known for their durability and sleek appearance. They can also include additional features like a gasket seal for added protection. While metal caskets are often more expensive than other options, they offer a lasting tribute for those who prioritize resilience and elegance.

Wood Caskets: Wood caskets are crafted from various hardwoods such as oak, cherry, maple, and mahogany. Each type of wood has a distinct grain and color, allowing families to choose something that reflects their loved one’s taste. Wooden caskets can range from luxurious high-end pieces to more affordable, simple designs in pine or poplar.

Eco-Friendly Caskets: For those looking to minimize their environmental impact, biodegradable caskets made from materials like bamboo, seagrass, or cardboard provide a sustainable alternative. These options are often used in green burials and are becoming increasingly popular for families who prioritize eco-conscious choices.

Personalized Caskets: Many funeral homes, including Faith Funeral Service, offer personalized options, allowing families to add specific features like custom engravings, fabric linings, or artwork that honors their loved one’s unique life story.

2. Choosing an Urn: Styles and Materials

If you’ve chosen cremation, selecting an urn that suits your loved one’s personality and preferences can provide a meaningful keepsake. Here’s an overview of urn options:

Ceramic and Glass Urns: These urns are often chosen for their beauty and artistic qualities. Crafted by skilled artisans, ceramic and glass urns can be customized with colors and patterns that reflect a loved one’s interests or personality. However, they can be delicate, so they’re best suited for display in a protected area.

Metal Urns: Metal urns, including those made from brass, bronze, or stainless steel, are durable and can feature intricate designs or engravings. They are a popular choice for families who prefer a more contemporary look, and they offer longevity, whether for display or burial.

Wooden Urns: Similar to wooden caskets, wooden urns offer a warm, natural appearance. They can be crafted from a variety of woods and may include engravings or inlays that add a personal touch. Wooden urns are versatile and can be displayed at home or interred.

Biodegradable Urns: For families who prefer a more environmentally friendly option, biodegradable urns made from materials like paper, salt, or sand are suitable for burial or water releases. These urns are designed to break down naturally, making them ideal for honoring a loved one’s commitment to sustainability.

Keepsake and Miniature Urns: Keepsake urns are small urns that hold a portion of the ashes. They’re often chosen by families who want to share the ashes among family members or keep a small, personal memento. These can be a meaningful way to feel close to a loved one even if they are interred elsewhere.

3. Budget Considerations

Choosing a casket or urn doesn’t have to mean sacrificing quality or beauty due to budget. Here are some considerations to help you balance cost with a fitting tribute:

Simple and Affordable Options: Funeral homes offer a range of basic models for both caskets and urns. For example, simpler wood or metal caskets, as well as classic urn designs, can provide a dignified option at a lower cost.

Personalization on a Budget: If you’re looking to add a personal touch without a high cost, consider simple enhancements like custom nameplates, a meaningful inscription, or selecting a color or finish that reflects the personality of your loved one.

Direct Purchase Options: Some families explore purchasing caskets or urns directly from online retailers, which can sometimes be more cost-effective. However, always ensure these items meet your funeral home’s requirements.

Pre-Planning to Lock in Prices: Many families are choosing to pre-plan their funeral arrangements, including casket or urn selection. By pre-planning, you can lock in current prices and avoid future price increases, providing both financial and emotional relief.

4. Making the Choice: Balancing Practicality with Emotion

Choosing a casket or urn is as much an emotional decision as a practical one. Here are a few tips to help guide the process:

Reflect on the Loved One’s Personality: Think about the characteristics, hobbies, or passions of your loved one. Would they prefer something traditional or unique? Bold or understated? Eco-friendly or long-lasting? Let their personality guide you in selecting a fitting tribute.

Consult with Family Members: This decision can often bring families closer together, allowing everyone to feel involved in the planning process. Encourage open conversations to find a consensus on what feels most meaningful to honor your loved one.

Consider the Purpose of the Item: If the casket or urn is intended for display, consider a design and material that fits your home or a specific memorial location. For burial, durability and long-lasting materials might be more important factors.

Creating a Heartfelt Tribute: Your Guide to Choosing a Cremation Urn

Choosing a cremation urn is a meaningful step in honoring the life and legacy of a loved one. This process, while often difficult, can provide comfort and serve as a lasting tribute to treasured memories. This guide will help you navigate the selection of an urn that truly reflects the essence of your loved one.

The Role of a Cremation Urn in Remembering a Loved One

A cremation urn serves a significant purpose beyond simply holding ashes; it embodies remembrance and respect. Here are important considerations when selecting an urn:

Functional Aspects of an Urn

The primary role of an urn is to securely contain the ashes of the deceased. It’s essential to choose one that is both durable and appropriately sized. Generally, an urn should hold one cubic inch of ash for each pound of body weight. Make sure the urn you select can comfortably accommodate this volume, ensuring the ashes are safeguarded.

Reflecting Their Essence

The urn should resonate with your loved one’s personality and life story. Consider their passions, hobbies, and characteristics when choosing a design. For example, if they cherished nature, an urn with earthy motifs might be fitting, while a sleek, modern design could reflect someone with contemporary tastes. This personal touch transforms the urn into a cherished memorial.

Material Choices for Cremation Urns

Cremation urns are available in various materials, each offering unique aesthetics and meanings. Here’s a breakdown of popular options to assist in your decision-making:

Sustainable Options

Eco-friendly urns made from biodegradable materials such as bamboo, recycled paper, or natural fibers are excellent choices for those who prioritize sustainability. These urns naturally decompose over time, making them ideal for natural burials or scattering ceremonies. Opting for an eco-friendly urn can also symbolize your loved one’s connection to the environment.

The Classic Appeal of Metal Urns

Metal urns, crafted from materials like bronze, brass, copper, or stainless steel, are known for their durability and intricate designs. Many feature detailed engravings, making them elegant and long-lasting choices. The strength of metal ensures that the memory of your loved one will endure for generations.

The Beauty of Ceramic Urns

Ceramic urns are celebrated for their artistic versatility. They come in various shapes, sizes, and finishes, allowing for customization that reflects your loved one’s personality. Hand-painted designs or unique glazes can add a special touch, resulting in a tribute that is both beautiful and meaningful.

The Timelessness of Stone Urns

Stone urns, made from granite or marble, offer a sturdy and classic option for memorialization. Their natural beauty and durability ensure they withstand the test of time. Available in various textures and colors, stone urns evoke a sense of permanence, making them suitable for those who led impactful lives.

Modern Elegance with Glass Urns

For a contemporary touch, glass urns provide an elegant option. Available in clear, colored, or etched designs, these urns serve as modern artistic expressions of remembrance. Their transparency allows for a beautiful display of the ashes, creating a striking centerpiece in any setting.

Personalizing Your Tribute: Customization Options

At Pulvis Art Urns, we believe that every life is unique, and your urn should reflect that individuality. Our handcrafted urns are designed with care and attention to detail, ensuring that each piece tells a story. Here’s how you can personalize your urn:

Choosing Colors and Patterns

Select colors and patterns that resonate with your loved one’s spirit. Many urns can be tailored with specific colors or designs that reflect their interests. Whether it’s a vibrant floral motif for a garden enthusiast or a minimalist design for a modern aesthetic, customization options are plentiful.

Meaningful Engravings

Incorporating engravings can add a personal touch that enhances the tribute. Many urns allow for custom engravings of names, dates, or heartfelt messages. This detail transforms the urn into a cherished keepsake, capturing the essence of your loved one’s life and legacy.

Additional Keepsakes and Accessories

Consider including keepsakes or accessories that can enhance the memorial experience. Some urns feature compartments for mementos such as jewelry, photos, or letters. These personal touches can provide comfort and help keep the memory of your loved one alive in meaningful ways.

Cremation Urns: Honoring Loved Ones with Dignity and Style

Introduction

In recent years, cremation has become an increasingly popular choice for final arrangements. As this trend grows, so does the variety and significance of cremation urns. These vessels not only serve a practical purpose but also offer a meaningful way to memorialize our departed loved ones. Let's explore the world of cremation urns and the options available to those seeking a fitting tribute.

What Are Cremation Urns?

Cremation urns are containers designed to hold the ashes of a deceased person. They come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, allowing families to choose a vessel that best represents their loved one's personality or aligns with their final wishes.

Types of Cremation Urns

Traditional Urns: Often vase-shaped and made of materials like bronze, brass, or marble.

Keepsake Urns: Smaller urns designed to hold a portion of ashes, allowing multiple family members to keep a part of their loved one close.

Biodegradable Urns: Eco-friendly options that naturally decompose when buried or placed in water.

Art Urns: Uniquely designed urns that double as decorative pieces, often reflecting the deceased's interests or passions.

Companion Urns: Larger urns designed to hold the ashes of two individuals, usually couples.

Choosing the Right Urn

Selecting an urn is a personal decision that depends on various factors:

Final Resting Place: Will the urn be displayed at home, buried, or scattered?

Personal Style: Consider the deceased's personality and preferences.

Material: Options range from metal and wood to ceramic and glass.

Size: Ensure the urn can accommodate the volume of ashes.

Budget: Urns are available at various price points to suit different financial situations.

Personalizing Cremation Urns

Many companies offer customization options to make the urn even more special:

Engraving names, dates, or meaningful quotes

Adding photos or artwork

Incorporating personal mementos or jewelry

The Role of Urns in the Grieving Process

Cremation urns can play a significant role in the healing journey for those left behind. They provide a tangible connection to the deceased and can serve as a focal point for remembrance and reflection.

Cremation Jewelry: A Unique Alternative

For those seeking a more intimate way to keep their loved ones close, cremation jewelry has gained popularity. These pieces, such as pendants or rings, contain a small amount of ashes, allowing individuals to carry a part of their loved one with them always.

Environmental Considerations

As environmental awareness grows, so does the demand for eco-friendly burial options. Biodegradable urns made from materials like salt, sand, or plant-based compounds offer a way to return ashes to nature without harming the environment.

Navigating Regulations

It's important to note that there may be regulations regarding the transportation and disposition of cremation urns, especially when traveling or choosing to scatter ashes. Always check local laws and airline policies if applicable.

Conclusion

Cremation urns offer a beautiful and personal way to honor the memory of our loved ones. Whether you choose a traditional vessel, an artistic representation, or a piece of memorial jewelry, the most important aspect is that it feels right for you and your family. Remember, there's no "correct" choice – the best urn is one that brings comfort and helps keep cherished memories alive.

As we continue to evolve in how we remember and celebrate lives lived, cremation urns stand as silent yet powerful tributes to those we've lost, helping us to hold them in our hearts forever.

Oh this, this is neat. As an archeology student im completely not surprised to be honest.

Literally in one of Polish Chronicles (Annales seu cronicae incliti Regni Polonia aka the one that Jan Długosz written in 1455-1480) the Auto mentions that in one place in Poland where (he even pin pointed the location but i forget the place but it was close to Poznań if anyone care) "the pots where growing out of dirt". Local people would go to a field dug them up and use as they would please. That's that easy. It reached the king's ears, it was written in a chronicle, and the world got out of the country. Other rulers didn't really believed it (can't blame them it sounds bonkers). One even visited the place to check if it's actually true (i think it was some Austrian aristocrat but im not sure) and take some home as a proof.

Obviously the pots where not growing from the dirt. They just found archeological site. Now (thanks to the chronicle, and the pin point location) we know that it was a late bronze age/early iron age graveyard of so called Lusatian culture (pl. Kultura Łużycka, for all my polish folks here this is the same "cultural group" [friendly reminder that in archeology "culture" most often then not do not represent the ethnicity] that build the settlement in Biskupin). Ceramic pots (most likely urns to be specific, since Lusatian culture practiced cremation) made circa 1300BC to 400BC used by poor people in the 1400's.

The thing is, cremation was apparently still a thing in pogan cultures back then (practiced byLithuanian and by Old Prussian [do not confused with Prussia the country they are different] for example). And the King that I mentioned earlier was no one different then Władysław Jagiełło. And the whole deal with Władysław Jagiełło, my dear non Polish Tumblr people, is that he was Lithuania, he spend a good chunk oh his life in Lithuania and was part of thier religion until 1386 when he converted to Catholicism in order to marry King Jadwiga [his also the reason why Lithuania converted to Catholicism in the first place]. So he SHOULD pin point that the pots that grows by themselves DO NOT grow by themselves and are probably an old graveyard. But he didn't. And the thing is modern historians think that he actually could know that but reminded silent bc of the Teutonic Order that was trying to destabilize his rule by trying to prove his still involved with pogan culture. Cuz Poland and the Teutonic Order where not on good terms and where on the edge of war, and Jagiełło was a strong ruler (aka a threat) and actually wanted to fight off the Teutonic Order. So they shove his past down his throat at any given moment.

TL:DR In medival Poland there was that one time when common people used 1000 year old urns as pots bc they thought they just grow out of the dirt like that and the king was probably painfully aware that they where urns but didn't said shit bc a very dedicated group of Catholic men wanted him down and dead bc they knew he would kick thier asses if he only got a chance so they try to use ANYTHING to show his not suitable to be the king. AND THE ONLY REASON WE KNOW ABOUT IT BC IT WAS WRITTEN IN A CHRONICLE

I hope there’s an afterlife so that whoever made this pot 2,000 years ago can brag that their cookware is so good it’s still usable literally millennia later. Something about this object being lost for centuries and then rediscovered, and being put (successfully) to its original purpose again is so pleasing to me.

Roman-Era Burials Discovered in Germany

Students from Goethe University Frankfurt, in collaboration with the Hesse archeology department at the Darmstadt branch of the State Monument Protection Agency, uncovered 46 graves from various ethnic groups near Nauheim, a town southwest of Frankfurt in the central-western German state of Hessen.

They uncovered 46 graves from the time when Roman legions were stationed on the Rhine during a six-week training excavation. The grave goods indicate the deceased were immigrants with Gallic funerary customs who settled in the area in the middle of the 1st century A.D.

The team expected to find Roman remains because a Roman military camp was known to have been built in the Nauheim area. The graves of early settlers came as a surprise.

The burial ground, which eight students in two teams brought to light on a good 2,000 square meters, dates from the middle of the 1st century AD to the beginning of the 3rd century. They unearthed a total of 46 graves, 44 of them cremation burials, only two of them inhumations.

Anthropologists will now examine the bone remains from the corpse fire as well as the skeletons and determine the age at death, gender, and diseases.

The Nauheim graves show who settled on the borders of the Hessian Ried almost 2,000 years ago: immigrant ethnic groups in small-scale groups. Grave goods indicate Germanic military farmers who were deliberately attracted by the Romans from the north, took over the security service in the province on the border of the Roman Empire, and then settled down.

In the burial area, a 30-centimeter high vessel, in particular, indicated that the dead of newly arrived settlers found their final resting place here: a bronze bucket that probably served as a burial urn.

An early Nauheimer “in the bucket”. Burying a person in a bronze bucket and providing tools such as scissors or knives is atypical for Roman burials. This is also the first time that evidence of the grave enclosures mentioned has been found in southern Hesse, while the custom was widespread on the left of the Rhine in the east of Gaul in the late Iron Age (1st century BC) and the 1st century AD. For scientists, such unusual burials are clear signs that immigrants were buried here, bringing not only their culture but also their burial rites with them.

The bucket must have been imported here and probably cost a dinar or two,” said Professor Markus Scholz, head of the Archeology and History of the Roman Provinces course at Goethe University. In general, the grave goods – such as a complete urn made of green glass – were of high quality, which indicates a certain level of wealth of those buried.

There are also six rectangular ditch systems that can be viewed as the enclosure of special burials and, according to current knowledge, all belong to the burial ground’s founding phase. In some cases, there are additions such as a complete glass urn, which attest to the wealth of those buried.

Artist Research: John Baldessari

John Baldessari is an American conceptual artist. The work I found most fitting to my project is his work "The Cremation Project".

In the months of May 1953 to March 1966, Baldessari collected his paintings and decided to burn them and document the process for a conceptual art piece he dubbed The Cremation Project.

Once he had burned his work, he combined some of the ashes of the paintings and added them into cookie dough, and placed the cookies in a jar. The piece is still on display in The New York Museum of Modern Arts. The remaining ashes were placed into a bronze urn alongside the cookies.

Baldessari wanted to destroy his old art and from the ashes, create something new. I intend to do the same in my project in order to disrupt my perfectionism, perhaps not to the extent of burning my work but I would like to create work and destroy it so that it is temporary and no longer on display as my perfectionism would force me to do.
