The shell-tempered beads pre & post firing. These & previously fired shell-tempered beads won't be glazed for a few reasons.
1. They'd need to be fired to the glazing temp & the emissions from burning shell (CaO2) would bubble the glaze.
2. The shell would slake, breaking the beads. #ceramics

Firing the last of the shell-tempered stuff this afternoon. I'll be taking it up to 590° C to stay under the lowest calcine temperature of shell. #ceramics #archaeology

I got 2 shocks yesterday when I went to town. The 1st was that the Alack Culinary Equipment & Supplies store was vacant, even though we saw one of their trucks last week.
The major shock was that our Habitat For Humanity Restore & Shop for Humanity resale store are both closing.

Home-made hamburgers this evening. The 4" patties shrank so much that we ended up having 1/2 a hamburger each.

I see where the Louisiana Surgeon General, the one who ordered all public health units, state medical personnel & state owned medical facilities to atop promoting vaccines, has been named the deputy director of the CDC.
IMO, it will be better to trust a fortune teller with your health than the CDC.

Researching meat consumption per capita in the US after reading a news story. Adding up 2024 reports of different meats, the total consumption of beef, pork, chicken, turkey & seafood equals ~10.5 oz. per person per day in the US.
Somebody's eating a lot of meat & it ain't us.😮

My huge quarry feature at the Wetherington Island Site (8HI473) near Tampa, FL. Top images are the innocent little boulder that started the whole thing. PI said go over there somewhere & put in a unit. 🤣
The last image is after 2 back to back tropical storms passed over the region. 1/ #archaeology

Ann asked if I knew there were A.I.s that you could use to write computer programs.
I said, yes, but some subroutines are patented/copyrighted, so I wonder how much plagiarism an A.I. written program contains?

I wonder if the weirwood trees, ears & eyes of the Old Gods, in Game of Thrones: Kingsroad are a nod to Quake & H.P. Lovecraft (i.e., the Shub-Niggurath)? #gaming
