The Jericho Skull

The Dalarö wreck is one of the world's best preserved 17th-century wrecks, lying at about 30 metres depth by Edesön off Dalarö. It was discovered in 2003 by the Marine Culture Society, and archaeologists from the Swedish Maritime Museum have investigated the site together with specialists from the University of Southampton and Södertörn University.
Although it is a fairly small ship, about 20 meters long, with a hold and six gun ports, its silhouette is similar to the larger warships. On and around the wreck are many objects – pottery, glass bottles, tools, handweapons, parts of the rigging, and baskets and crates. On the bottom rests the figurehead, depicting a roaring lion on its hind legs. Two masts are still standing.

In 2017, the ship was probably identified as Bodekull, a small frigate.

In june 2017, Bodekull was documented for 3D-rendering within the EU Interreg Central baltic Project Baltacar. https//www.facebook.com/ProjectBALTACAR/

In May 2012, five sections of the hull of an armed Elizabethan merchantman were moved to Stoney Cove Dive Centre, some 400 years after it sank in the Thames Estuary. The site consists of a section of bow and 15m of the port side, as well as an anchor.

The ship is now part of a unique underwater museum display where it also serves to train the next generation of nautical archaeologists. 

Originally discovered in 2003 by the Port of London Authority, excavation was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology. The hull remains and associated artefacts, including iron bars, lead and tin ingots, pottery and leather were recovered together with 4 guns, one bearing the insignia 'TG' and the moulded emblem of a grasshopper, the mark of Sir Thomas Gresham (1519 - 1579). He was a financier and adviser to Queen Elizabeth.

Twelve tree-ring samples from the hull suggest that the timbers were felled in England after 1574.

When digging a Roman site one of the most common finds archaeologists make is broken Roman pot.  This model depicts a potter in ancient Rome using a wheel to make a jar.  Click on the numbered annotations to find out more - do you think the Romans invented the wheel for making pots?

This model would work well as part of a Roman environment in a game engine such as Unreal - gltf download will work well.

Mont Orgueil (French for 'Mount Pride') is a castle in Jersey that overlooks the harbour of Gorey. It is also called Gorey Castle by English-speakers, and lé Vièr Châté (the Old Castle) by Jèrriais-speakers.The castle is first called 'Mont Orgeuil' in an ordinance issued by Pierre de Brézé, Lord of the Isles during the occupation by the French during the War of the Roses, in 1462.

The site had been fortified during the Iron Age, as excavations in the 1970s showed, the existence of an earth rampart at the top of the granite rock, that the castle now rests on. Other materials were also found at the site, such as arrowheads and pottery, which actually date from the Neolithic period (4000–2500 BC).

I made this model after seeing Dani Wootton's excellent '5 Fascinating Finds' video on the Time Team channel https://youtu.be/m-Z1uM9DMRI

This model illustrates Dani's description of how Roman pottery was mass produced using a mould with decorations pressed into the mould surface.  Click on the annotations on the model for more information.

In researching this model I visited the British Museum in London to get a closer look at the 'punches' that were used to create the decorative indentations in the mould surface.  I felt sure the surface of the punch must be curved to follow the contour of the mould but wasn't sure if the curve was more pronounced so that the punch would be rocked back and forwards when being pressed into the clay.  The example I saw at the British Museum (Ancient Rome room - display case 26 - see below) showed a punch with a figure on it and a slight convex curve which I think would have matched the surface of the mould.

Roman Bridge, Deer Street, Piercebridge. These are remains of a bridge which once led to Piercebridge Roman Fort. The bridge consisted of at least 5 piers but the northern end has not been discovered despite an intensive search. As the river course moved northwards the southern end became supported by debris left by river floods and the piers were robbed and replaced by a causeway in the early 2nd century AD, dating evidence for which is a coin of Hadrian and early 2nd century pottery. This site is now in the care of English Heritage (2011).

The terra cotta warriors occupy an important position in ancient sculpture works, and they are one of the ancient tombs sculpture works. As early as the primitive society, people began to put the human body and animals squeezed by mud into the furnace and cook together with pottery. In the Warring States period, with the decline of the system of martyrdom, the pottery figurines replaced the funeral of martyrs. The more than 8000 Terra Cotta Warriors unearthed in the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty were magnificent and impressive.

**Red‑Gold Dragon vs. Blue‑Silver Dragon**

The Red‑Gold Dragon and the Blue‑Silver Dragon, collectively classified as *Draconis geminiflare*, are legendary twin forces said to have emerged during the late Warring States period. Ancient astronomers believed their intertwined forms mirrored a rare celestial phenomenon, two comet tails crossing in the night sky, interpreted as a sign of cosmic recalibration.

Though often depicted in eternal combat, scholars argue their clash was never about dominance. Instead, each dragon embodied a natural principle: ignition and stillness, eruption and clarity. Their unexpected purpose was pedagogical. Monks studying their mythic duel used the dragons’ mirrored movements to teach balance, how opposing energies can create harmony when neither seeks victory.

Even today, artisans echo their spirals in pottery, dance, and martial forms, preserving the lesson hidden within their legendary struggle.

Pottery Bucket Long Squared

A stoneware jug from the Edgefield Pottery Collection. This jug was made in the late 1800s.

The Edgefield Pottery Collection is a collection of historic vessels with a variety of shapes, sizes, forms, and uses. A jigger mold was used to quickly mass produce these Albany-Slipware style stackers and jugs. The vessels in the Edgefield Pottery Collection did not pass their quality inspection when they were made and were discarded into a ‘waster pile’.
