I just bought this sandmaster from world footbag and it came in the mail on the 14th I played with it for the first time yesterday for about 30mins and a seam had already busted. I'm wondering if there's something I can do or someone I can talk to or anything like that
So I have a bandana that has some holes and I figured that if I were to patch them that I would use sashiko but my issue is that I need a patch for the holes but bandanas don't really have a back side so I don't know what to do. What are your thoughts?
Hey everyone, high school student who's been looking at the possibility of an archeology career for a couple of years now. I find it hard to find out what there are for job positions so I came here to ask, "What are the different job positions that you've seen in archeology and what do they do?" My second question is about college, it seems like every college I look at handles archaeology related degrees differently whether it's an Anthropology degree with a focus or just a flat out archaeology degree, can I please have some advice there?
Anything is welcome and thank you!
I've had the blue bandana for a few years now and it has been in my pocket about everywhere I've gone but it's fallen into disrepair and ripped everywhere I wish I had a before picture to show you guys anyways this is what my nana and I did to bring it to it's former glory
Hey everyone, future archeologist here! I'm out at Roosevelt Lake, AZ for a family trip and walking along the shore I'm finding these sherds of pottery. What are your thoughts?
My thoughts are:
1.) it's native American (there were natives here
2.) They are pieces of old terracotta pipes but they are rather thin for that
Interesting information:
1.) the bottom center piece has ripples in it, my thought is that either they somehow stamped it maybe? Or it's the way that the pottery has been worn by the waves of the lake
Picture one: All pieces
Picture two: The backs of all pieces
Picture three: The rippled pieces mentioned above
Picture four: Side profile of the thick price mentioned above
Any info, ideas, and thoughts are welcome!
I am very interested in scout history and vintage products, but find it hard to search for specific items and what not. Can you guys please provide me with any item(s) with their catalog number. I'm also specifically looking for bags and duffels but any item is also good info, Thanks!
I bought this canteen off of eBay and it's great but the only issue is that the canvas rubs on you as you walk and is wearing through, you cannot take it off because of the way they constructed the canteen. How might I repair these holes?
So in recent years the scout organization had moved away from paper back books to these spiraled ones. The issue that I have with them is that having so many holes the pages kind of crease up the page and then fall out or they simply unscrew from the spiral. I was thinking about binding it in leather. What are your guys' thoughts, opinions, and advice on this?
The spiral style book always seems to tear and fall apart relatively quickly and I've been thinking, "hmm what if I just bound it." Any tips and tricks on how I should bind it?
It seems many alcohol and medicine bottles aren't formated the same way to accommodate for things like licenses and they make it difficult for me to date. Can I please get some tips tricks and guidance
I've been bottle digging for awhile now and have just been learning as I go but I just thought to come here for advice
So let's say for example you come across a new dump site
1.) what techniques do you use in order to find out how large the area of the dump is
2.) what techniques do you use to remove dirt from the dump and take it outside the perimeter of the dump
3.) how do you know when a dump is finished, it seems that mine just kinda keeps going even when I think it's done or I go in a streak if not finding anything
4.) please give me a list of tools and gear that you bring including things that aren't basics
5.) how do i go about cleaning that mineral build up off of the bottles
Any info is appreciated!
So recently I have gotten really into scout history and vintage gear. I bought these two shirts and this pair of pants and would like to know about the buttons specifically, whether they have names, when they were used, etc. If any info that I have included is false, could be clarified, or if you can add more info onto it please do!
