Colorized archaeological reconstruction of the Jordan Mounds in Louisiana based on illustration in the mound encyclopedia. The 7-platform mound complex has never been excavated but has been heavily farmed for many decades. The main mounds, plaza area, and extensive earthworks were made by "intruders" who entered the area in the early 1500s.

This Roman coin is mule, or hybrid, of two different types. The obverse is a CONSTANTINOPOLIS type and the reverse is VRBS ROMA. Mules occur when dies from different coins get mixed up at the mint or by contemporary counterfeiters. #FindsFriday https://t.co/wBMX6cxCMm

#FindsFriday: `Thousands of pits from which iron ore was extracted, large-scale deforestation and a heavily fortified, sprawling #Celtic settlement: this is roughly how one can picture the area around what is now Oberpullendorf in Burgenland 2,000 years ago:
