@NoahCLST6 @jtatumCLST6 physical properties and spaces within the structure. I can only imagine how much you two learned after building such a model and having to think about each room, design, etc. Such an insightful process and amazing thread, too!

[Jimmy Heidt @JimmyHeidt9]

@NoahCLST6 @jtatumCLST6 Unbelievable job, Noah and Jamie! This is truly amazing how you two were able to reconstruct the buildings within the Athenian Agora. Much like my #Project4 research, it is clear that building these types of reconstructions only further our understandings of the many ...

#CLST6 Instead of posting on Twitter for this #Project4, I chose to attach a final copy of my project so that it will be easier to read. All of the images (1-8) are attached as screenshots below. Here is the link attached on the next tweet, which should hopefully work!

@NoahCLST6 Great thread Noah! I was really interested by Trajan's Column in Rome, too. A fun fact that I found fascinating during that assignment was how this monument was so important and such a distinctive / prominent landmark that its completion was actually celebrated by ...

#CLST6 For this #FinalLookCloser thread, I chose to look at the Terracotta chariot krater after going back to the #LookCloser2 library. Out of all the artifacts we have looked at, I chose this because I was fascinated most by its deep-bodied kraters and complex pictorial scenes.

In addition, interestingly enough, this vase was most likely connected with funerary practice, which was common for these types – they may have also served as sarcophagi. As you can see in the image, the chariot behind the horse has unclear occupants, ...

@OliverCLST6 However, they aren’t photographs and instead were painted decoration for ceramic vessels.

This #archaeology thread is about #context – where we find our artifacts – and why that matters

I’ll start w/ the 1st site I ever dug at, the cave of Fontéchevade in France, and then I’ll look at the ancient trade in painted ceramics from Athens (*CW: graphic ancient sex)

@OliverCLST6 This is a great thread! It’s essential to dive deeper into artifacts and to contextualize them by making further connections through research. For example, in Professor Dibble’s thread, he highlights the Athenian paintings that represent life in ancient Athens.

#CLST6 For this #RR21 thread, I wanted to use what we learned about funerary graves / remains / monuments and how this becomes relevant in today’s world. I just recently stumbled upon a CNN article, revealing how archaeologists just announced today that they have unearthed ...

[Jimmy Heidt @JimmyHeidt9]

@WillCLST6 This was the first of the 59 sealed sarcophagi that was recently found in the necropolis of Saqqara and can be seen as a disrespectful portrayal after concerns over COVID-19 safety rules. On the other hand, I think you found the other point that these tombs were side-by-side ...

On the other hand, these Egyptian sarcophagi reveal a more surviving settlement, as they present a high-quality, artistic, wooden structure.

We can tell what settlements did not survive as well depending on what they used to build funerary materials (i.e. if they were built out of more perishable materials).
