LauraTimmisPot of The Day - Black-topped Red ware Jar - Predynastic Egypt, Naqada II ca. 3650–3300 B.C. Black-topped red ware pots are a specialised type of pottery which developed during the Egyptian pre-dynastic period (4000–3000 BC). The two tone colour effect on the pots is achieved through a combination of oxidation (red) and reduction (black) firing. This shows early potters had sophisticated ceramics skills and there’s been extensive research done by archeologists to determine how they did this. The current understanding is that the ancient potters fired the pieces in two stages. The first stage was to bring the ware up to a ‘red-hot’ stage in a kiln (approx 540 degrees C), the pots would then be removed and placed top down into a bed of sawdust (or similar material). The buried section of the pot would be in a ‘reduced’ environment allowing the carbon to develop and thus giving the dark back colour. The bottom of the pot would be in the open, exposed to the air allowing the iron in the clay to oxidise resulting in the bright red colour.    Although it was over 5000 years ago, those early potters had such a deep understanding of the subtle interactions between fire and clay.

LauraTimmisPot of the Day: Harappan Ceramic Vessel – approx 3000–2000 BC The Harappan Culture (also known as the Indus Valley Civilisation) was a sophisticated Bronze Age civilisation located along the banks of the Indus River, in an area that now covers most of Pakistan, northwestern India, and northeastern Afghanistan. Like the contemporaneous city-states of Mesopotamia and Egypt, the Harappan culture flourished thanks to the rich, fertile soils of the Indus delta. This gorgeous pot, depicting tigers, snakes, a river, plants, and trees, dates from what is referred to as the Mature Harappan era (or the Urban Phase), which predates the Vedic civilisation by approximately 1,000 years. The Mature Era is characterised by its well-planned cities and the world’s first drainage systems. A standardised system of weights and measures was adopted during this time to support its prosperous trade network. Although it had become a powerful urban centre, the pottery of this time often featured naturalistic designs and motifs like this one, showing that the natural world was still very much revered.

Miss GayleAre men "naturally" violent thugs who take power & impose their "leadership" on others against people's will? Or are they normal people who've been trained badly by dysfunctional western culture?And can that soulless, greedy, exploitative, and oppressive worldview be removed from western culture before the ecosystem is destroyed by their greed?Link: <a href="https://www.resilience.org/stories/2025-07-08/the-invention-of-gender-roles-division-by-design/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.resilience.org/stories/2025-07-08/the-invention-of-gender-roles-division-by-design/</a>(Yes, women can be sociopathic CEOs too.) <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/AncientHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AncientHistory</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Patriarchy</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Community</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Society</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sustainability</a>

Ancient city possibly ruled by females living in a "matriarchal society" more than 9,000 years ago, researchers sayBy Cara Tabachnick June 28, 2025Excerpt: "We need to move away from our Western bias that assumes all societies are <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/patrilineal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#patrilineal</a>. Many cultures, including some <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousAustralian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousAustralian</a> groups, pass identity, land rights, and responsibilities through the mother's line — a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/matrilineal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#matrilineal</a> system,' study co-author Dr. Eline Schotsmans, a research fellow at Australia's University of Wollongong's School of Science, said in a statement. "These findings come several months after researchers studying social networks in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CelticSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CelticSociety</a> in Britain before the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RomanInvasion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RomanInvasion</a> gathered genetic evidence from a late Iron Age cemetery and found that women were closely related, while unrelated men tended to come into the community from elsewhere, likely after marriage. "Using an examination of ancient DNA recovered from 57 graves in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dorset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dorset</a> in southwest England, their study, published in the journal Nature, shows that two-thirds of the individuals were descended from a single maternal lineage. This suggests that women had some control of land and property, as well as strong social support, researchers said. "Researchers said upon the release of their findings, 'It is possible that maternal ancestry was the primary shaper of group identities.'
