The skeleton of a middle-aged man who died between 1450 and 1620 was found with a prosthetic hand still attached to his left arm, which replaced four fingers he likely lost through amputation.

    I always enjoy discoveries like this, though am often also disappointed by how many people are still surprised by how not new prosthetics are.

    It got into my hand and it went bad - so I lopped it off at the wrist.

About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more…

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. No pseudoscience/pseudoarchaeology.
