Speaking of all of our treasures, how about these fascinating necklaces made with gorgeous late 19th century Afghani ceramic and bone spindle whorls with Bowenite pendants?! I’m personally a little obsessed with the subtle color variations, and the variety of patterns etched into each bead, so that each is truly unique!

@Regrann from @vanartgallery - “This original work was difficult for me to title as it represents the disconnection from the traditional wisdom and teachings of the Salish and the loss of our Hul'q'umi'num' language, which I experienced as a child. The beautiful imagery within each grid is made up of overlapping butterfly wings in a circular format, like that of a spindle whorl, to represent the cycle of life and the close connection of my people to this land. […] The edges of this piece are fragments of butterfly wings which have here been metaphorically clipped for First Nations children who were taken from their families and put into residential schools, as myself and my siblings were. This piece is a symbol of power for those of us who had strength and resilience and survived the residential school system.” – Susan Point … Susan Point’s “Butterfly Grid” confronts a dark part of Canadian history that we as a nation have only recently begun to acknowledge and talk openly about. In this work, Point reflects on her years at a Catholic residential school in Sechelt, BC, where she lived from the age of 9 to 14. … Image: Susan Point, “Butterfly Grid,” 2016, Forton polymer, Courtest of the Artist, Photo: Rachel Topham, Vancouver Art Gallery … #InternationalMuseumDay #SusanPoint #SpindleWhorl #VancouverArtGallery #artmakesus #symbolofpower #Canada150plus #dialogue #reconciliation #powerofart #indigenousart #contemporaryart #CoastSalishart #internationalmuseumday2017 #artoftheday #quoteoftheday

Day Five:

That’s the end of week one at Kings Seat and the last day of the week saw lots of finds - pottery, crucible fragments and stone tools plus a few iron knife blades. These were mainly located around the hearth area in Trench 4. A lovely cannel coal spindlewhorl was found by Gordon one of our regular volunteers!

Work in Trench 6 continues with two hearths appearing here on the middle terrace. There’s a thick layer of hill wash to remove in Trench 6 which will hopefully reveal more structural evidence relating to these so we can understand what type of structure(s) the hearths would have formed a part of.

Trench 7 has got to a stage where the bank of the lowest enclosure has been revealed and recorded. The UHI students are now digging a section through it to understand its construction and get some dating material.

Andy from AOC gave the volunteers a talk on finds highlighting how the artefacts we are finding indicates the high status nature of this site. Lots of lively discussion ensued and we can’t wait to get back to the site next week to find more!

We will be back on Tuesday until Saturday next week - visitors welcome if you fancy a tour of the site.

Working on little artifact illustrations for a 'Museum in a Box' I am working on for the Newfoundland and Labrador Archaeological Society! Part of the box is going to be a game for kids, and these images will be part of it! ________________________________ #illustration #artist #archaeologicalillustration #pencil #ink #drawing #artifacts #artefacts #pretty #traditionalart #lineart #gradschool #instaartist #staedtler #sakurapigmamicron #awesome #artsupplies #NLAS #newfoundland #atlantic #codjigger #spindlewhorl #ulu #slatetile #tools #technology #museum #museumworld #exhibit

News story: Iron Age and Roman evidence found at Corunna Barracks Ludgershall

The Ministry of Justice granted a Licence to exhume and, a team of archaeologists from leading archaeology and heritage practice Wessex Archaeology, excavated 14 graves in March of this year.

Most, if not all, of the people buried were laid to rest wearing hob-nailed shoes or boots. One individual was buried with a spindlewhorl and another with a single coin. The coin (a nummus) was minted during…

Currently fascinated by this strand of Terra Cotta Extra Large 19th Century Spindle Whorls. These weaver weights were used by the Tiv people of Nigeria and this necklace is on the original market stranding as it was found in Nigeria years ago. #spindlewhorl #spindlewhorls #spindlewhorlnecklace #antiquespindle #tiv #tivpeople #nigeria #nigerianjewelry #tivjewelry #africanjewelry #antiquebeads #terracottabeads #19thcentury #19thcenturyjewelry #antiquejewelry #antiquenecklace #statementnecklace #shop #nyc #unionsquare (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWg3N6h_WC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zebyl1kgmzes
