It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

Day 2 God of War: Ragnarok from an Archaeooogist with a Master's in Viking Runestones!
How well do they render cultural material compared to historical counterparts? Are mythological figures represented in ways consistent with how they were viewed? What about the fish???

First week back in the field post surgery/winter paperwork break... It's amazing the sorts of things the human body can recover from.
Especially one that's been put through the wringer by a gung-ho pilot with a "that's a future me problem" approach to self care
*glares at my own reflection*

Last night we tried the new blacksmithing game @bladesonggame.bsky.social & made a historically accurate #Viking #ULFBERHT #Sword! Using the Rosenlund Sword, the Ballinderry Sword, & other unnamed examples from National Museum Denmark for reference, I think it came out pretty good! #Archaeogaming

🐲 Urnes-style Uppsala memorial runestone (U 614) from Torsätra, dating to the late C11th.
📝 'Skúli and Folki raised this stone in memory of their brother Húsbjǫrn. He fell ill while collecting payment on Gotland' (Historiska).
The runemaster was most likely Visäte.

My sons school put them on remote learning all week because its "too cold" w/ daily tasks to complete for all 1st grade classes including GYM. They then sent a message reprimanding parents for not doing all the assignments quick enough. Where should I send the Invoice for being a Substitute Teacher?

Just gave a "Career Day" Q&A about Archaeology to a class of 3rd Graders as a favor to a friend and I was lowkey impressed with how well they listened and asked questions. Maybe the kids are alright after all haha

Spent a few hours at the Swedish History Museum recently, and among all the shiny viking objects on show, this simple carved duck from Birka stood out to me. Ascribed all kinds of sublime and symbolic roles, it may have simply been a kid's toy; a beloved, ordinary plaything without frills or fuss 🦆

I am flabbergasted that 100 men vs 1 gorilla is even a convo. We evolved as PURSUIT PREDATORS biologically constructed to outlast most animals. Even without tools, we take shifts to enrage the gorilla by yelling, baring teeth, etc. & kite it around for a few hours preventing it from sleeping till ☠️

Last night I streamed the Oblivion remaster and I'd safely say I spent about 2.5 hours alone on inventory micromanagement, shuttling rusty iron gear to the Imperial City Market, and doing the Speech minigame to max my merchant reputation and buyback rate.
