    You don't have to scrape a hide till it is transparent when animal fat and or cedar oil will do much the same. Cedar is probably better for repelling insects.
    Still used to do much the same today in the preparation of microscopic slides (the cedar).

      ​​​​@@sleepingsealproductionsI rent a house in rural Andalucia built by my landlord's grandfather about 130 years ago in the local style using cobbles which litter the landscape left in distant prehistory when the area was a huge lagoon.
      Toward the top of the nearby village there are cave homes in the hillside under the town hall. I think you have to inherit them or something as they are in such demand. Several hill villages have cave houses. A friend lived up there where small caves behind the houses were used to house the burros. A friend my age (old) recalls the flurry of lifting floor rugs when the burro was brought home as it walked through the hall corridoor to the back door. Safer than a stable at the side of the house.

    You are doing down oil and gas surveyors. They take great delight in finding sunken 'ships'. Three or four full surveys are made before, during and after construction. Usually by different teams.
    There was a scandal in the Gulf of Mexico when a pipeline was laid on a flat seabed and then buried for protection, only to find it went straight through a shipwreck.
    Fortunately, it was only one of the first USA vessels. Not that old really. 😅

They did seem to intentionally live an “organic” lifestyle from the “garbage” produced & we know by the first century they were recycling glass. It would be interesting if they were able to identify recycling & responsible land management as an old idea within human populations of prehistory.

      AD/CE 663. Date of Easter important because you couldn't have two sets of people in the same place celebrating the one feast on different dates, especially if one set had the King in it and the other set the Queen - and the runup to it involving strict abstinence ... the debate supervised by the formidable royal kinswoman Abbess Hild, and nobody, apparently, doing anything worse than debating passionately and the churchmen on the losing side politely clearing themselves out of the way afterwards.
      The 'angels on the head of a pin' thing is attributed to Thomas Aquinas, or perhaps John Duns Scotus (13th century, later by about 600 years), by 17th century protestant theologians being rude, and there's a handy Wikipedia summary en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_many_angels_can_dance_on_the_head_of_a_pin%3F

    Hi Guys. On available engineering accuracy in early times. You might be surprised to learn that accuracy to a thousandth of an inch was very easily achieved just with the use of Candle smoke and files, or an equivalent to filing, by checking how you were proceeding with Candle smoke. I know about this, because my best friendwent through a proper Gunsmith Apprenticeship in which he was taught the old skil
    s of Candle Smoke and highly accurate filing, to such a high level that he could produce best quality Shorgun barrels of a quality acceptable to the top gunmakers. Thankfully, he is still alive and is still trying to pursue his career, though foeshave unreasonable o stacles placed in his path. He's one of the most highly skilled people I've ever met tbh.

    It is highly unlikely that the Scholastics ever discussed angels and pins, it was most likely an Early Modern attack on the supposed uselesness of the Scholastics. I prefer to differentiate between deposits put 'beyond use' and hoards hidden for later reworking. I think both existed.

    fundamentally, language is localized in communities (however large or small) that also is confounded by the genetic ancestry of the "population"; language and genetic variation is also subject to migration (migration of language and genetic variation), so there is correlation of language with genetic architecture - not precise but clear relationships. Of course, much of the genetic variation is at the "global" ancestry level and detailed evaluation would be best by incorporating "local ancestry", yet the aDNA samples and sample sizes are not currently available (as far as I know)

    If you ever decide to visit N America, you might have to choose a single region to document, as there's simply too much Prehistory here to take in all at one go. I'd love it if you'd someday cover the Serpent Mound and its associated sites as those are both mysterious and fascinating. The fact that the ancient Mound Builders knew how to square the circle and had their mathematics sorted is truly a marvel. But Rupert may be incorrect about no megaliths, as there are a few sites along the Eastern Seaboard here that are what I'd call cairns and that geologists have insisted upon dubbing "glacial erratics." I believe that I posted at your FB group about this at least one time. I've no idea what made them so convinced that these stacked stone structures were geological anomalies, as they appear completely incongruous to the landscape there to me.
    Maybe somebody here from New England could help me with this?

    I don't buy that 200ft deciding line between a ship and a boat! 😂. That would have the ships of Columbus and Magellan as smallish boats! And all the Frigates of the Napoleonic Wars would be boats of about 135 ft with at least 80 crew! The American Super Frigates of the War of 1812 only scraped by the 200ft mark! Captain Cooks Endeavor was 105ft.
    We built two replica ships from the 1607 to 1615 dates that were ships that carried a large number of crew, passengers and cargo to the new world. The larger one was 88 ft. Yachts of similar size are quite small vessels and certainly wouldn't be called ships--but these were extremely bulky burdensome cargo vessels.
    I do wish the myth of Mediterranean sailors being unable to sail out of sight of land would get finally bonked on the head. Mesopotamia and Egypt traded across to India. The Pacific Islanders reliably found tiny islands in an ocean that covers half the planet. Surely Mediterranean seafarers were not uniquely retarded.
    One reason for finding wrecks near the coast--is that coastlines are the primary cause of shipwrecks. It is magnitudes safer to be well offshore when encountering a storm. Hugging the shore is foolish and dangerous, unless you know the coastline and it's dangers very well and are able to drag your vessel up a beach in a sheltered cove.
    Even after anchoring technology was hugely improved with chains and iron anchors, it was common for several ships to be driven ashore in the same gale while lying at anchor awaiting a fair wind.

    There was an interesting comment on homeless people still living in caves in modern times. I would argue that in every age of man, the only people living in caves, were the homeless ones, the ones on the run. I bet that young teenagers partying in caves, hiding from their parents, is the same story over all the ages. People live in huts, not caves. Teenagers doing graffiti have their nests in caves, or stashing stolen goods, or living homelessly on the run from whatever danger. Those are the remains we find in caves, and it makes so much more sense to what we do find in caves - rare and few remains. This also puts the modern living in perspective, as I believe we have been modern for the last 100K years or so, just not technologically advanced.
