This #Medieval hearth really is neat. Note that it's not actually rectangular: one corner is cut. #archaeology
Neat flight of stairs in the 18th century cellar. No mortar! #archaeology
Potted mini rose bushes have decades of life in them if you plant them. Perfect for guerilla #gardening. ❤️ #roses
Three juvenile seagulls are trotting around the entrance to my mom's building. One comes running up to people, tilts his/her head, then backs away. ❤️ #birds
Mid-summer 1983, Lillsjön, Kungsängen. If you ever need to destroy me in a bout of Left Party infighting, then this photo will do the job. I'm wearing the logo of the "Free Enterprise: Good For Sweden" campaign, because my mother worked for the Swedish Employers' Association. 😄 #svpol

Whorled tickseed, Coreopsis verticillata, Sw. höstöga. It appears to be blooming uncommonly early. I bought the plants less than a year ago. Native to the east-central US. #gardening #bloomscrolling
First coin found, Charles XIV John, 1/4 skilling, 1820. It's difficult, because there are so many rusty nails everywhere. When I set the detector to ignore those, it loses some general sensitivity. And if not, I can't move for signals. #archaeology #coins
I have devised a method to pick random books off our shelves using dice and a tape measure. Today the 4D10 told me that I needed to look on shelf number nine, 17.1 cm from the leading end. This gave me a 756-page anthology of Swedish poetry through the ages […] [Original post on archaeo.social]
