Studying Greece? Here's a great interactive website about the Plague of Athens that provides context for Covid 19. And here is a hyperdoc that students can use as they explore the site. Follow an Athenian doctor, Nikos, as he tends to the sick and dying. Those infected by the endemic faced a horrible death. Some of the symptoms included intense fever and laceration of the bowels along with diarrhea.

Unearthing a Forgotten Past An interdisciplinary team led by Johannes Müller of Kiel University has provided a rare glimpse into the lives of Neolithic people who lived over 5,600 years ago near Kosenivka, Ukraine. The study, published in PLOS ONE 1 on December 11, 2024, uses bioarchaeological analyses to shed light on the diets, deaths, and cultural practices of this enigmatic population, linked to the Neolithic Cucuteni-Trypilla culture.

The last two posts are linked to my Fieldnotes from Iceland blog. This is connected with my work for Rayburn Tours.

Iceland is located where there is both a mantle plume and an oceanic plate margin. This produces a huge amount of magma, which results in effusive eruptions - sometimes involving glaciers, as in 2010, or without as in the sequence of eruptions
