   It pains me to think about all the plastic items I’ve bought over the years that weren’t up to the task; degraded in the sun to the point of failure; or otherwise ended up in landfill. Ideally any bacteria, or other microbes, would only bre

   I wonder if archeologists actually do believe everything was either utilitarian or religious, or if that’s just the way it gets reported? I find it difficult to believe archaeologists, who are themselves students of the liberal arts and sci

    I'm not a historian / archaeologist, so I can't really be sure here, but I would have assumed bronze would have been valued throughout history for-at least-it's appearance? I also would have assumed the fun-factor has be
