The site of Athribis in Upper Egypt has revealed more than 43,000 ostraca (pot sherds uses for with writing and drawing), offering remarkable insights into a thousand years of daily life in ancient Egypt.
One of my favourites shows a drawing of a shrew, the sacred animal of the god Haroeris.

What to do in the face of climate change? A new paper by me and colleagues shows that you head to high ground (stable upland water sources) and double down on resources that are predictable and can be managed (likely with fire and tillage).

Open Access Article "Technological and Dietary Responses to Holocene Climate Events in the Northern Great Basin" here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1947461X.2024.2405352

Since Monday, the #PleiadesGazetteer editorial college has published 15 new and 41 updated place resources, reflecting the work of 10 people. The usual Monday blog post will summarize a full week's worth of such work, but meantime here's a #SneakPeek at an update to a place resource originally derived from a Barrington Atlas feature. Tom Elliott has recently worked on the entry for the Chabina river, a tributary of the Euphrates in eastern Turkey whose course incorporated portions of three drainages that are differently named today: https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/658430

Among the updates: detailed modern geometry from OpenStreetMap and modern toponyms sourced from the BAtlas directory and other sources. References have been cleaned, and a link added for the IGLSyr reference to the digitized copy at Persée, whence the Latin name. A connection has also been made to the record for the Cendere Bridge, findspot of the inscriptions.

Making sure you're not a bot!

A square, gray-toned satellite map that -- thanks to a scale bar labeled "10km" -- can be seen to cover an approximately 70 by 70 kilometer area. The terrain is mountainous, and a portion of a large river snakes across the map from middle right to center bottom. Labels for "Sinicik" (upper middle) and  Kâhta (near center) can be read. A bright blue line starts near the upper left portion of the map and runs eastward to near the middle before turning south-southeastward to eventually end in the large river at lower right. Partway along this clue line a large orange dot and smaller green bow-tie symbol can be seen, but they are not labeled.
