My del.icio.us bookmarks for the 25th of July

These are things I’ve bookmarked on the 25th of July. I may not have read them all yet.

• 10 year labour of love to find bomber – “It is incredibly sad. These were young men doing their duty. I don’t know whether it’s because I’m getting older, but when you think the pilot was only 20 and he was in charge of the crew, so when we began to dig, it was a very moving experience.”

• BBC NEWS | Norway princess ‘talks to angels’ – …but can she cure scrofula? A princess is using her mystic powers to set up an alternative therapy centre.

• Paleoglot: The dicey proof of Etruscan numerals – Using dice to provide evidence of numerals is a bit of a gamble reports Glen Gordon

• Open Objects: Update from Catalhoyuk – Mia Ridge updates us on her current work at the neolithic excavation.

• Muhlberger’s Early History: Tewkesbury: a medieval town’s layout revealed by floodwaters – Not a survey method I’d use by choice.
