Grevling posted:Goddamn I love history saw this on fb quote:It was from one band of these settlers, the Angles, that the name of England itself first emerged. Engla land' was the Viking description. It is characteristic of a country that, from the first century to the thirteenth century, was subject to almost continual foreign occupation.

i found a chunk of history today, probably pre-modern because it was buried pretty deep in sandy clay nice rock, you say? does a rock have a pitted working face, you fool? maybe they do but some smarty-pants professor told me to look for this pitting when looking at possible tools made of quartzite, since it's such a hard rock that it's difficult to shape and so a lot of tools just look like rocks otherwise   it could have been the head of an adze or maul but more likely it was a really ergonomic hand hammer -- seriously this thing has great grip -- used by somebody hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands of years ago to pound the living poo poo out of something, probably a foodstuff  just living your best life camping beside an ancient river and using your COOL ROCK to smash open moose bones for the marrow while shooting the poo poo with your friends and chewing on some salmon jerky

English counties are pretty interesting like that: a lot of them were set up by the Anglo-Saxons and still have the same county towns and much the same borders as they did in the 10th century. These are the 'shire' counties: Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire etc. Then there's other counties like Cornwall and Kent which used to be dinky little kingdoms in their own right but ended up getting absorbed into the larger English political entity. I like to imagine an alternative Britain where England never happened and we ended up with Wessex in the south, Mercia covering the Midlands and Northumbria in the north of the island.

WoodrowSkillson posted:cool removing of an artifact from its context oops i kind of didn't add enough context to make me not seem like a grave-robbing dingus. years ago my father got in contact with a curator at the Royal Alberta Museum on the phone, and they discussed the grooved hammer head that we had found. according to the curator (i think that was his position) he thought it was a cool find and we should donate it (we did and they redonated it to the local museum) but that stone tools in that area aren't unique enough to investigate any further than that. also they had basically no budget (because Alberta) was a further implication the land in question been used as a camp-site for a very long time, it's basically in the middle of a trail system used by first nations, métis, fur traders, and missionaries travelling between the big lakes of alberta and the major rivers. no permanent or semi-permanent settlements were built along this trail, just camp-sites scattered the whole way and there's been a lot of campers over the years. according to the museum guy you should note the location and depth where you found the object, if you can help it please don't disturb the site any further. i'm not digging anymore in that area so it's the best that can be done i guess. i found some bits of charcoal at the depth as well but i have no idea what an old campfire would look like it's probably just a rock but maybe a distant ancestor of mine picked up this fine potato rock, considered it, decided it to be stupid, and went back to thinking about some way to make pounding pemmican less tedious and maybe invent Tetris

Tulip posted:Honestly produced one of the better Spartan quips too: one of the captors mocked (possibly with some disbelief) the Spartans with how all the REAL Spartans must have died from arrows so it was just the non-Spartiate who surrendered, to which a Spartan said "it'd be a pretty smart arrow to tell a noble from a commoner." They probably used an algorithm, like Obama did when he made sure that no civilians were harmed in his drone strikes.

All the important Anglo-Saxon people and places were Saxons. Middlesex, Wessex, Sussex, Essex, Norsex. The Angles had what, East Anglia? No important Angles in history, basically the irrelevant

Let us also consult the only source dating from within like 300 years of the "Anglo"-Saxon invasion, Gildas:quote:Then all the councillors, together with that proud tyrant Gurthrigern [Vortigern], the British king, were so blinded, that, as a protection to their country, they sealed its doom by inviting in among them (like wolves into the sheep-fold), the fierce and impious Saxons, a race hateful both to God and men, to repel the invasions of the northern nations. Nothing was ever so pernicious to our country, nothing was ever so unlucky. What palpable darkness must have enveloped their minds-darkness desperate and cruel! Those very people whom, when absent, they dreaded more than death itself, were invited to reside, as one may say, under the selfsame roof. Clearly, little has changed. Where are the so-called  "Angles"? The "Jutes"? They have played us for absolute fools.
