<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_culture">Material culture</a> (<a href="/tags/materialculture">previously</a>) surrounds us, both the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Museums">old stuff</a> and the <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/06/disposable-america/563204/">new stuff</a> [<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221024014511/https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/06/disposable-america/563204/">archive.org link</a>]. Sometimes this <em>stuff</em> reveals surprising new facts, as with the <a href="https://english.elpais.com/culture/2022-11-14/researchers-claim-to-have-found-earliest-document-written-in-basque-2100-years-ago.html">recent translation</a> of <a href="https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-11-16/words-on-bronze-hand-may-rewrite-past-of-basque-language">writing</a> on a hand-shaped bronze ornament uncovered in 2021 that pushes the timeline for the existence of writing in Basque by hundreds of years. Other times, it's just a <a href="http://www.toyarchive.com">thing</a> for kids to play with, or maybe <a href="https://mcphee.com/pages/history-of-the-librarian-action-figure">adults</a>, or definitely <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_toy">adults</a>[NSFW], but sometimes play <a href="https://www.teenvogue.com/story/barbie-body-image-study">carries</a> <a href="https://www.bradley.edu/sites/bodyproject/barbie/gijoe/">meaning</a>. <br /><br />Academic types <a href="https://sites.udel.edu/materialculture/about/what-is-material-culture/">study</a> this stuff in various disciplines, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeology">some of which</a> have been around for a while, but which are constantly turning up <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/99-fascinating-finds-revealed-in-2021-180979281/">new old stuff</a>. A common problem with this kind of work is the <a href="https://www.academia.edu/download/7284099/Knapp-Man%2023(1988).pdf">ideology</a>, though people pursue various strategies to <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/remembering-unsung-egyptians-who-helped-find-king-tut-tomb-180980074/">remediate</a> the colonizer's perspective.

Happy Week 3 of Fundraising, y'all! Thanks to the staff, SC, and volunteers for all the hard work. This post brought to you as a labor of love (and specifically being intrigued about the Basque news), but if you're standing there with a wheelbarrow full of cash and aren't sure where to put it? <a href="https://login.metafilter.com/funding.mefi">You know the drill</a>.comment:www.metafilter.com,2022:site.197205-8323147Wed, 16 Nov 2022 17:53:44 -0800cupcakeninjaBy: sillyman

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
