Archaeologists have unearthed a Bronze Age metropolis in the heart of the Eurasian steppe: an early form of city as complex as those of contemporary, more traditionally 'urban' civilisations, showing how steppe polities were just as sophisticated.

If you remember last autumn when I was live-skeeting excavations at Rossano di Vaglio, the first report of that work has just been published (in Italian). Happy for it to see the light of day, and also very pleased to present five new Oscan inscriptions to the world...

South Texas game cam catches a raccoon riding a javelina (Dicotyles tajacu).
The deer feeder corn attracts a lot of other species, but maybe we should worry about them all teaming up against us?

Interesting new paper: doi.org/10.1111/1467...
"Here, we show that linguistic evidence from four independent domains does indeed suggest that the Xiōng-nú and the Huns spoke the same Paleo-Siberian language and that this was an early form of Arin, a member of the Yeniseian language family."

The pre-Islamic script from Dhofar was undeciphered and therefore there are no inscriptions of this type in #OCIANA. Now we have the decipherment of the main variant of the Dhofari alphabet: t.co/ngtzPB9ZPz

Ancient textile fragment depicting hummingbirds excavated in Nazca, Peru. Embroidered using dyed animal fibre from llamas, alpacas or vicunas, which absorb dye more easily than cotton, producing more vivid colours, this small object, still with its vibrant colours, dates back to 400BC-AD500.

The one in the photo is the one known since 2023, which, I surmise, we will now have to call Orléans 1.
