Archaeologists do it in holes: Tales from the stratigraphy

Apparently Geoffrey of Monmouth and Stonehenge was "brought to England."

Recent research suggests that Stonehenge may have been built and stood in Wales for 400 years before someone moved the whole thing some 140 miles to England.

I guess the habit of looting monuments has a long history in Britain.

Seems a bit over the top 

Went antiquing today and found what I thought were some cute letters but turns out

Why don't people write letters anymore? I think we've lost something as a civilization.

It is nice when you are out there doing your bit for the air force to know your girlfriend is getting plenty of threesomes back home.

I'd like these included in the next Ken Burns documentary.

I'd like Morgan Freeman to read that letter with Ashokan Farewell playing in the background.

Then why did you mislead me by posting them together? Here I had this whole story about a love boyfriend just happy his significant other was well taken care of and loved while he was away in my mind and then you snatch it away.

That's how it was in the original tweet.
The page came out of that stack.

Ok look clearly I did not bring the adequate serious scholarly attitude to this subject that you wanted. I apologize.

A society in Spain, 4000 years ago, that may have been governed by women.

A society that existed over 4,000 years ago, in modern-day Spain, may have been governed by women.

A woman who was adorned with a silver crown and buried with other jewelry in the early Bronze age settlement, challenges the view that men exclusively exercised state power, archeologists say, in a new study published this week in the journal Antiquity .

"The La Almoloya discoveries have revealed unexpected political dimensions of the highly stratified El Argar society, showing features that are unique in the contemporaneous Western Mediterranean and continental Europe," the study authors write.

The remains were uncovered at the La Almoloya site, on the south-east side of the Iberian peninsula, which served as a hub of the El Argar society, one of the first civilizations in the region to forge bronze, build urban centres and erect palaces.

Hasn't this been a long standing theory on pre indo European people?

Yeah and if we dug up Athens without knowing anything else about it and found the Parthenon with the huge statue of Athena in it we might also think ancient Athens had progressive social values.

Though I also thought women ruling in these societies was the orthodoxy, not a challenge to it. I just wish we could find some writings by these cultures and learn more.

I would be interested if it was kind of like Sparta where rich women were the power behind the leaders. Or like the Iroquois where women appointed all the men in charge. Or something different...or if we have that totally wrong like we might with feminist Athens.
