Different forms of Japanese shuriken ("ninja stars") are named after everyday items they resemble or were made from. The hole in the centre of hira-shuriken (flat plate form) are often from source items that had holes such as coins or tools. #Archaeology #ninjago #Weapons

The caganer is a small figurine of a defecating peasant, part of Catalan culture, originating in the late C17 or earlier. A highly popular character in the nativity scene, since the 1940s there are now contemporary versions. #archaeology #anthropology #Catalunya #Spain #Cataluña

Car wheel nuts should be tightened diagonally, not by going round in a circle. Imagining the five nuts are the points of a star- top, bottom left, right, left, bottom right. #Archaeology #anthropology #fossilized #dinosaurs #driving #outdooradventure #roadTrip #Roman #medieval

Hello everyone. Feeling a bit despondent about X. We work very hard on the project, but despite having 9,000 followers, we rarely get more than 5 or 6 likes on any post!? We could do with knowing if we should stay here, and if there's still love for #Brochs? #Caithness

When airlines insist on hand luggage fitting inside a gauge to be allowed in the cabin, turn the case upside down so the wheels go in last, reducing the chance of the case jamming and having to be checked in. #Archaeology #traveling #flightdelay #Airport #airportfun

Unbolted car wheels are often stuck on by corrosion and deposits, something not covered in handbooks/instructions. Kicking or hammering are usual solutions. If not lower the jack and turn the wheels side-to-side. #Archaeology #driving #cars #anthropology

Q-pits, round depressions c4m across with a small channel, were used to make white coal in the post-medieval period. They are too small to be quarry pits but may be confused with bomb craters. #archaeology #industrial #History #HistoryNerd
