5 Archaeological Objects That Even Archaeologists Cannot Figure Out What They Are For

There are many archaeological findings whose mysteries are still unsolved today. While discoveries made in archaeological sites provide new information about the past of humanity, they also raise new questions in minds. We share with you 5 archaeological objects whose functions even archaeologists cannot figure out.

Roman Dodecahedron

Archaeologists have not yet come to a conclusion about what this object was used for. While the function of this interesting object is often the subject of debate, it is thought to be used to knit gloves. What do you think this object was made and used for?

Stone Balls

According to the information in Arkeofili; Some of these balls, more than 425, were found in settlements and some in graves. The purpose for which these stone balls were used has been the source of much debate. It is unknown whether it was used as a projectile to deter predators or as a weapon of war. It may also have been used to measure weight.

Neolithic Drums

Three of these drums, whose purpose is unknown, were found in a children’s grave in Folkton, North Yorkshire, in 1889, and one was found in Lavant, West Sussex, in 1993.

Another was found at Burton Agnes in east Yorkshire in 2015.

The Agnes drum, discovered in 2015, was found along with a chalk ball and a bone pin in the graves of three children.

Archaeologists about the drum found during a routine research said:

‘’It was the middle of winter and the weather was terrible. It’s incredible to find something this rare.

We uncovered the skeletons and as we were cleaning around the head it became apparent and we realized we had found something special.

The detailed relief carving on the drum is a thing to behold and shows the great skill of its maker. “Research into the drum, tombs and surrounding excavations continues and we look forward to publishing more on this subject in the future.”

Rings

These rings from the Bronze Age are among the objects whose purpose is unknown. Although there are people who make comments about nose rings, hair ornaments and earrings, these comments do not seem to reflect reality as they are disturbing.

Cosmetic Grinders

The last interesting object is a cosmetic grinder located in Hockwold, Norfolk. This time, the mystery here is not the function, but which substance is being prepared…

The content of any of the mortar samples, which are thought to have been made with medicines, aphrodisiacs and cosmetics, has not yet been analyzed.

  Disturbing Photos That Make You Feel Like No One Should See Them Don’t forget to comment on which one is more disturbing. A vendor’s collection of glass eyes. A strange machine used in 1932 to achieve beauty. Another disturbing photo taken during the Victorian era. A man proudly posing with his collection of heads. Medical students practicing on a table that reads, “A human’s usefulness doesn’t end even after death.” A man wearing a special mask designed to treat cancer on his face and neck in England in 1924.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You? Liminal spaces represent a process of transformation, both physical and mental, and are therefore an important concept in many different disciplines. Let’s examine what it is! Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
