      First comment with the (probably from the US) dude confidently being wrong about french law regarding archeological finds is pretty entertaining.

      Also the one throwing a fit about “CE” vs “AD” notation for years is pretty great

      It shouldn’t be so bad… right?

      Holy fuck. Yes, it’s cancer. Almost as bad as Reddit.

      On a lighter side, while checking the comments, I found this link in the site, with a blocking game from 200 CE. Played it a bit against the CPU, and it seems fun.

        How could a comment section about some coins found in a pot turn into comment cancer?

        [Checks comments]

        Oh. I see. It turns out our calendar system is “woke”, “patriot Christians” are an “oppressed minority” and archeology is “theft from hard-working private landowners”.

      “Jar” originally could be used for larger containers too, like amphorae. It’s just nowadays people “defaulted” it to those small glass containers with (usually metal) lids.

      …I want a jar of cookies. In the old sense of the word.

      It’s probably a translation thing. English probably got the word Jar from French but uses it in a slightly different way.

    This hoard won’t be sold on Crust Romans, I really wish I had bought more when they had so much inventory.

About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more…

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. No pseudoscience/pseudoarchaeology.
