And all the bite marks are on one bone, the humerus, the upper arm bone. quarry workers and people who are already doing this because the stone is useful, because there might be one decent fossil for every, you know, few hundred tons of rock you shift. In which
So the Church of England was created, the dissolution of the monastery was about to happen. The quarry was gravel, Pleistocene, 920,000 years old.
And so one of the most striking things is that there must been a lot of collective organization in order to produce these monuments. The quarrying is done fairly locally, but simply the carving out, the construction of them, the putting them upright, and the construction of these walls around them, involves a huge amount of labor.
and two, corn on the cob. Turns out quarry jumping is kind of dangerous and technically illegal, and tasty corn is getting harder to find. In the 1980s, most farms in my county were bought out by agribusiness, and now the corn in my county is the kind used for cattle feed and those compostable takeout
And then I went into the countryside of Portugal and I relocated some of the sites where he made his discoveries. This is the quarry at Murganheira. And he found human artifacts there in lower Miocene formations.
The overriding thing in our discussion-- our end user was Grandma. So this is a quarry south of the San Luis Reservoir, where we've done some rover tests.
whether or not several animals were together at the time of their death. So multiple theropods together in this quarry , and it's like, right, but there was loads of debris, and you had loads of things like fish scales and other small bones, and it's like, okay, but this looks like these animals potentially died somewhere else, and then a flood or a river washed them into
In this case, that stuff is related to things that are really going on on the ground. This is a picture of a quarry in upstate New York, and the camera is a half a megapixel camera that's taking frequency spectra for the half a million pixels in 512 frequency. So I have a half a million 512-dimensional pieces of data.
I'm young. I've been doing this-- I've been on the grind. I've been standing on quarry tile under UV lights, banging pans, for 18 years. I could be a fucking surgeon.
So the Church of England was created, the dissolution of the monastery was about to happen. I found these in my quarry .
The overriding thing in our discussion-- our end user was Grandma. tell that there's a quarry here.
I look at Malden to the north. There was a shipbuilding center and a granite quarry located there.
So as we're moving around the island, as you curve around the west side of the island and start heading east a little bit, you get to the old quarry . And actually, this quarry , a lot of the stone that was quarried there is at the foundation of the financial district in San Francisco and also became Mount Olympus, which has kind of a nice metaphor, but more importantly, it's an 80-foot cliff.
So the Church of England was created, the dissolution of the monastery was about to happen. And so the two of them then went down to the quarry , and for the next couple of years, they looked around for
This is called the Carolina Butcher. This was discovered a couple of years ago in North Carolina in a quarry , I believe. I might be wrong about that.
And this isn't something you'll learn on the Kiva website or in any of Kiva's literature, or whatever. This woman, she lives next to a quarry .
She places her hand gently around the nondescript mound and pulls it from the rocks, holding it as one might hold a soft loaf of bread. Arriving among us, Veronica holds out her hand upon which rests her inert quarry . What was mud-colored below is now, in this bright, shallow water, more of a yellow ochre, and it is studded with pale tubercles that are almost
So the Church of England was created, the dissolution of the monastery was about to happen. He was out walking one day in 1908, and he walked beside a quarry a couple of miles from his house, near the village of
years ago. And this is the first time were saying objects moving long distances. How do we know that moving long distances is trade and not migration? Well, because in relatively modern Stone Age people like Australian Aborigines he could see the same phenomenon. There was a quarry called Mount Isa in northern Australia where the Kalkadoon tribe dug up stone axes. And they traded them with their neighbors for things like stingray barbs. And as a result of the stone axes ended up all over Australia in a far larger area than the Kalkadoon tribe
are producing sculptures like these for restaurants, for gardens, for hotels. And that means that the movement of the stone, the quarrying and the movement of the stone is still very much a going concern. And the skills of carving the stone are very much still alive.
My passions are simpler, like corn. I was raised in a corn-growing country in Indiana, and two big upsides of humid Hoosier summers were, one, diving into limestone quarry pools, and two, corn on the cob.
with Hadrian's Wall. So when you look at this, you can see the only other most prominent thing is this right here, which is the 20th century quarry .
So this awareness of just expanding our relationship to how we relate to the spaces that we inhabit and the spaces that we live in. So as we're moving around the island, as you curve around the west side of the island and start heading east a little bit, you get to the old quarry . And actually, this quarry , a lot of the stone that was quarried there is at the foundation of the financial district in San Francisco and also
And I'm focusing, of course, on the joys of how nature contributes. Often there was an eagle that-- not an eagle, a hawk, a red-tailed hawk that nests nearby the quarry that would often fly right over Zeus's head during the scene. I mean, it's just an amazing thing.
And this isn't something you'll learn on the Kiva website or in any of Kiva's literature, or whatever. And so her business is primarily selling to the workers from the village who walk past her home on their way to work in the quarry .
So the Church of England was created, the dissolution of the monastery was about to happen. Huge monument, still stands, put outside where he used to live, and by the quarry where these fragments were found.
