Friday Varia and Quick Hits

It looks like a cloudy, cool, and muggy weekend as first feeling of fall creep into North Dakotaland and the start of the semester is right around the corner. It should be a good time to practice hunkering down with a good book, stack of articles, or some writing.

To get your first fall weekend started, here’s a little list of quick hits and varia:

• Oxford Roman Economy Project.

• Travel posters from Dumbarton Oaks.

• Early American Ceramics.

• Andrew Reinhard’s Archaeogaming book.

• Two neat interactive articles.

One from The Chronicle of Higher Education: Education deserts.

One from the AHA: Where historians work.

• A gaggle of film reviews: Corruptions and Duplicates of Form.

• Digital Plant Collection.

• Cricket in Carolina.

• A sale on Zu Druid Mark V speakers.

• What I’m reading: John Bintliff et al. Boeotia Project, Volume II: The City of Thespiai: Survey at a Complex Urban Site. 

• What I’m listening to: John the Martyr.
