Links before supper!

I smell cooking happening downstairs.
My stomach is made of macrame knots right now, but damn, does that smell good.

Beautiful things found in my feed:

Friends of the Pleistocene
From their sidebar: FOP is dedicated to exploring the conjuncture between landscape and contemporary human activity at sites shaped by the geologic epoch of the Pleistocene (2.588 million to 10000 years BP).
serious thinkers whose acronym spells 'fop'. win.

Legislation forces archaeologists to rebury finds. Not beautiful, not at all. Important is the word here.

A view of the news from the scientist who work in the ground at Archaeology.org. Alternate perspectives.

Part of New Zealand's Submerged 'Pink Terraces' Found
and how cool is that? Really? Yeah.

The best news on this list, though?
Civil Rights Activist and Congressman John Lewis to write a graphic novel autobiography focused on civil rights activism and his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement in the US. Yes.

And from Stumble, because I felt like something else was needed:
Early 1900's in Color
From the site: "In the early part of the 20th century French-Jewish capitalist Albert Kahn set about to collect a photographic record of the world, the images were held in an 'Archive of the Planet'. Before the 1929 stock market crash he was able to amass a collection of 180,000 metres of b/w film and more than 72,000 autochrome plates, the first industrial process for true colour photography"
