5 995 I’ve made a personal blog of sorts
…for things that don’t seem relevant to this blog’s tags. My life-with-the-dead posts are always tidy and organized into their proper places, but I want to avoid posting music, personal stuff/camwhoring, and irrelevant things on here (and I want a blog where I can be lazy & stop worrying about tags).
So here it is…
1 Searchable List of 250+ Open Access Archaeology Publications- Journals, Reports, etc.
I Created a searchable list of Open Access Archaeology Publications to make it easier to find ones you might be interested in. You can search by topic, peer reviewed or not, language, geographic area, if it is still publishing or not, etc.
Any feed back on how well it works would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Ogham is a pre-christian medieval alphabet used primarily to write the old Irish language. The image above is a segment from the 14th-century Book of Ballymote, a manuscript that contains a collection of Irish sagas and genealogies, as well as a guide to the Ogham alphabet. This information is thought to have been copied from a much earlier 9th century manuscript.
According to Celtic mythology, Balor’s grandson Ogma invented Ogham. Here’s a good link to an Ogham alphabet text converter
