Historical Artifacts

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

What a cool find. The Must Farm dig for anyone else interested. I have seen these socketed axe heads in museums but didn't really understand the proportions of the complete tool.

Such unlikely circumstances to burn then extinguish and then preserve this family's possessions for so many centuries.
