Archaeology!

One of the places we visited in Ann Arbor was the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

It was terrific, and I took some photographs to share with you. The light was extremely reflection-friendly, so apologies in advance.

There was a special exhibit about color, but here are a few general images first. You can enlarge them for a better view by clicking on them directly.

A dice cup and dice from the Roman era (dice made out of bone, dice cup is a re-purposed bit of broken glass lamp):



Like I said, reflections, but how stunning is this?



Inside next. I wonder how many hundreds of hours it took to complete one of these:



Here's a fine collection of ancient seals:



And a few more:



More tomorrow!
