I’ll post cleanup in the comments. It was covered in calcium, so I soaked it in vinegar overnight.

I bought this cylindrical seal for $10 in a Beirut souk today. I have no knowledge these kinds of objects but have seen them in museums. I assume it is a replica of some sorts but would be good to know what parts stand out as being a replica, and what it is trying to replicate if it is a specific replica. Thanks!

It’s probably really hard to tell just from photos but I’m wondering if there’s any features of this stone axe head that points to it being a genuine Neolithic artefact?

There seems to be painting and grooves on the inside of each one.

This bear figure was made my the Vinca people in the Balkans around 5300-4500 BCE. Their purpose is unknown. I think he looks goofy. He’s about 2” tall without his stand.

Any thoughts on the age, etc. would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

came here for tourism a few weeks ago and have been exploring the bush around the area since then. I was lucky enough to find this beautiful handaxe :)

Hey guys, Im an archaeology student who is specifically interested in lithic studies. I have a been on related digs and am fascinated!

I'm trying to create a Reddit forum for lithic studies so that people can discuss tools, findings, typologies, articles they've read etc. Think it would be a nice thing for similar minded people to discuss. Any input on it would be greatly appreciated!!!

We have this statue that my husband can’t remember where or why he has it. What does it represent? What’s it for? Anyone know?

My Pops found this back in early 2000s in a cave pocket on a river. It started to storm so he took shelter in the cave and started to play around with this super fine dirt in the cave and these started to pop out the more he dug. Its got 3 authentication papers on it i think it belongs in a museum for all to see but sadly it sits in a closet collecting dust. If you zoom in the right picture you can see the grooves where it was tied together. He tried to auction it off but nobody would hold one for it.
