happy birthday, grandfather. ❤️
🐶-⛰️-🛠️ / 🥜-🗺️-🍫 / 🪴-🛞-🧢
my maternal grandfather, david, would have been 67 today, november 30th, 2023. he suddenly passed away in december of 2021.
he had special interests. he loved animals, despite being allergic to them. he admired the earth. he truly respected those around him. he created beautiful things. he helped others constantly. he had collections. he loved rocks. he loved exploring. he was one of the tidiest men i have known (other than my other papa lol). he tended to an indoor garden with such love it thrived all year round. he called me by my chosen name and never questioned it. he was chronically ill. he inspired and continues to inspire me. and most of all, he was kind. i miss him every day i live, and i hope he knows how deeply i love him with every word i write.
this stimboard is for him. it is full of the things he loved and collected in life. he had so many other things, knickknacks and doodads and hobbies and aspects of him that i couldn’t include in this board, but these seemed to be his very favorites.
happy birthday, grandfather. i love you so much.

A groundbreaking study has revealed the ancient roots of archery in the Americas is 2,000 years earlier than thought! They found evidence in the Andes Mountains that the pivotal technology of bow and arrow dates back around 5,000 years.
Progressing from spears to arrows, these ancient weapons were harbingers of social change, having far-reaching impacts on the development of ancient societies in the Americas.
Led by a team from the University of California, Davis, and published in Quaternary International, this research offers fascinating insights into how the introduction of the bow and arrow transformed societies. By examining over a thousand projectile points from the Lake Titicaca Basin, the study uncovers how this technology coincided with major societal shifts – the growth of trade networks and the move towards village living.

Major Update to all the Aquatic Plants
These plants will change more during the seasons. These plants now look great indoors. i have added the infant interaction to these. Now these plants have buffs. I edited slots on 3 of these plants, and gave the lotus flowers more color. Last but not least, I have added French translations by OswaNily. I also updated tags on these, and they are compatible with LMS Transfer Inventory mod. If you would like to see some of these changes before hopping into your game, take a look on each plants' individual page through the slideshow. Enjoy!

Arrowhead housed at Bern History Museum found to be made from meteoritic iron - Phys org
An international team of geologists and historians has found that an arrowhead housed at the Bern History Museum was made using meteoritic iron. In their paper published in Journal of Archaeological Science, the group describes the attributes of the arrowhead and where they believe the material it was made of came from.
Prior research has shown that meteoritic iron was used by early people in many parts of the world, from Eurasia to the Middle East and Africa. Notably, researchers have found few examples of use of meteoric iron by early people in Europe. Suspecting that many such artifacts have been found but not identified as such, the team on this new effort conducted a search of archaeological collections at various sites in Switzerland.
Testing of an arrowhead found at the Bern History Museum showed it was made partly of aluminum-26 isotopes, which are not found naturally on Earth. They also found an iron and nickel alloy that has only ever been detected in meteorites.
In checking its history, the team found that the arrowhead had been discovered at what had once been a Bronze Age site called Mörigen...
The team also found remnants of an adhesive on the arrowhead, which they guessed to be tar pitch, suggesting that the arrowhead had been attached to a shaft of some sort.
The researchers noted that the site where the arrowhead was found is less than eight kilometers from the point where the Twannberg meteorite crashed into the ground, making it the likely source of the iron used to make the arrowhead. But upon closer inspection, the team found that the concentrations of germanium and nickel did not match. That led them to look for another source.
A search of a geological database showed that only three meteorites with the right combination of metals had been found in Europe: one in the Czech Republic, another in Spain, and the third in Estonia. The research team suggests that the one in Estonia was the most likely source for the arrowhead they studied—an example of the extensive trade network that was active during the Bronze Age in Central Europe.
