Archaeological things that made me happy 2

The Wijnaldum Fibula, a bow brooch from Great Frisia, was found plowed to bits. Metal detectorists and archaeologists spend years searching the fields of Wijnaldum trying to complete the brooch and to the world’s (and my) joy, the brooch was reassembled to its most complete form in 1500 years.

The garnet inlay originates from India, and two Dirham coins were found, signifying long distance trade with the East.

Just for the fun of it, can you spot Wotan’s face in the garnet inlay?

Navigating Access Control with Full Height Turnstiles, Gate Operators, and Metal Detection

Systems can help enhance security measures and streamline access for authorized personnel detection systems play a crucial role in detecting concealed metal objects on individuals entering a facility. Whether it's a public venue, an airport, a government building.

Metahumans are just Liminals

So! As far as I know, Metahumans get their powers because they have Nth Metal in their DNA (I think? It might be a single continuity thing).

But what if Nth Metal is just Solidified Ectoplasm?

Metahumans are just a different Brand of Liminal. They get their powers from Metalic Ectoplasm in their DNA rather than Pure Ectoplasm in their Soul. As such, their powers are much more based on their Genetics rather than their Obsessions.

A Metahuman is more likely to have children who share the same power. It is Passed On through their DNA, and as such it may not actually fit the users Personality. The upside is that the Power is usually stronger than normal.

A Liminal will get their powers from their Soul. Whatever fits their Obsession the best is what they will get. The downside is that their power is weaker than a Metahumans abilities.

A Ghost is the perfect combination of the Two.

They have a Core made of Metalic Ectoplasm, and a Soul made of Pure Ectoplasm. They have the Power of a Metahuman, and the Fitting Nature of Liminals.

Side Note: Halfas are kind of an even better version of that? They have the Metalic Core, the Pure Ecto Soul, and the Body of a Human to contain the Power.

Thoughts?

3,600-Year-Old Jewelry and Weapon Hoard Found Under Field in Czech Republic

Archaeologists used metal detectors to find the hoard, which includes several pieces of jewelry and weapons.

Archaeologists discovered a hoard of Bronze Age artifacts while doing routine survey work in a field in the Czech Republic.

The bronze objects — which include eight arm rings, two pins, eight axes and one spearhead — were found near Budyně nad Ohří, a town about 35 miles (56 kilometers) northwest of Prague, Radio Prague International reported.

Researchers estimate that most of the items, which they found using metal detectors, date to around 1600 B.C.

"Most items are characteristic of the Middle Bronze Age, with only one ax belonging to the earlier period," Martin Trefný, an associate professor at the Museum of the Říp Region and the University of Jan Evangelista Purkyně and the curator of the hoard, said in an email. One ax is even older and dates to the Early Bronze Age.

"Axes could have been used as tools or weapons. The latter function also applies to the spearhead," Trefný said. "Bracelets were forearm ornaments, and pins served either to fasten clothing or, for example, to style women's hair."

Archaeologists remain unclear about why the hoard was buried, but they have proposed three possibilities.

"In the first case, the hoards are presumed to have a votive function, meaning they served as offerings to deities," Trefný said. "In the second case, we speak of an economic function, where hoards are interpreted as, for example, storage for manufacturers of the given items."

Alternatively, the buried items could reflect "a crisis situation, where it was necessary to hide the items, for example, from enemies," he said.

The treasure could be worth "millions of crowns," Trefný told Radio Prague International. (One million Czech crowns, or koruna, is about $42,500.)

"All the items testify to the technological advancement of bronze casters and processors in Central Europe 3,500 years ago," Trefný told Live Science. "The composition of the hoard also contributes to understanding the warfare, craft techniques and contemporary fashion of the time. Considering that hoards might have a ritual significance, they can also reveal a bit about the contemporary religion."

In the "near future," these found items will be on display at the Podřipské Museum, located about 30 miles (50 km) north of Prague, Radio Prague International reported.

Archaeology friends. Please read and comment. I wanna know if I’m just overreacting or if I/they/both have a point.

I just had this interesting thought experiment happening in real life. In the YouTube comment section, from a non archaeology video (but it was about castles) someone confessed of taking home a broken bit Roman roof tile.

Some people got very upset because they thought the person broke it off themselves and took it. To which he/she got very upset and defended themselves hard by stating that the pieces are lying everywhere and that you can just pick them up.

I commented that taking things home with you is not right. The European Union has a whole set of rules and guidelines for archaeological heritage (the 1992 Malta convention) which in essence says: leave everything alone in situ. So taking anything home, even as stupid as a broken bit of Roman roof tile isn’t really the best thing anyone can do. Someone owns that bit of roof tile. Even trash has an owner. You can’t just put your hand in and take what you like.

The person again got very upset and commented that they took the bit of tile out of a sieving residue pile left by archaeologists and that the piece is now at their home instead of rotting away in that pile.

I decided not to comment further, but it’s still upsetting me. If it’s sieving residue, why would an archaeologist leave behind Roman roof tiles? If it’s useless bits, why didn’t they clean up the site after they left?

And if it’s left behind after being sieved out, than yes it’s not worth any special attention and left “rotting away” but it goes against anything I’ve learned. A) don’t take things that aren’t yours B) destroying an archaeological site. Even as marginal as this example. If we get pissed at metal detectorists for taking “anything they like”, we kinda have to draw the same line for all types of artifacts. But it’s a left out broken bit of Roman roof tile 🙄

neat metal detecting find!! lock from 1910!!!

found this neat Eagle Lock Co. Lock today (finally got permission to metal detect at my work:)) - it is likely from c. 1910 as that was the primary time that the section of property was used !!! this is probably my coolest find so far metal detecting!!

Things I would have liked to seen explored in the metal virus arc: Espio dealing with not wanting to be “lead detective.” Not because he’s incapable, not because he wouldn’t be amazing at it; but because of the finality of the loss that would come with it.

Had this conversation in another post: when Vector said that line, it really had a vibe of a father passing on a position to his eldest son…a son who doesn’t feel ready for it despite being plenty capable.

What I would have loved to see in the comic; Espio grappling with the weight of that and maybe just having a moment where he feels his age. Just a little moment, at least.

I mean, the comics do a great service in letting the younger characters have moments of being young…but sometimes it feels a little disproportionate because, well…Sonic and everyone but Vector and Vanilla aren’t exactly all grown up either. Sometimes it can just come off a bit patronising/infantilising…but that’s a whole different conversation.
