Sherd ca. 3100-2500 B.C. Iran This sherd is made of grey burnished clay. It is typical of Namazga IV ceramics from Turkmenistan and Hissar II ceramics from Iran, and likely date to ca. 3100-2500 B.C. It was excavated in 1937 at a prehistoric site in the vicinity of Nishapur in northeastern Iran. While Nishapur itself was founded by the Sasanian king Shapur I (reigned ca. A.D. 241-272), this sherd shows that human habitation there goes back to the prehistoric period. Furthermore, the prehistoric pottery from Nishapur has close affinities with ceramic materials from Central Asia rather than with contemporary sites in Iran, meaning that in this period its inhabitants were likely culturally linked to their neighbors to the east. At the same time, Nishapurs location on what later became known as the Great Khorasan Road suggests that it was part of the trade network that facilitated the import of precious stones such as lapis lazuli, carnelian and turquoise from Central Asia to Mesopotamia.

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London. 1860. London, Academic Press, London, Periodicals, Zoology, This is an illustration depicting the top view of a textured surface resembling a skull cap or dome, characterized by a smooth curvature and subtle detailing. The surface shows minute patterns and variations, suggesting a natural or anatomical study. The surrounding edges are slightly rounded, leading to a defined base, potentially indicating its relevance to biological or anthropological research. The text 'Proc Z.S. Reptilia. XII' and the notation 'Fig 1' are visible, hinting at its publication in a scientific context, possibly related to reptilian studies. The artists name, 'W. Ware,' appears in a corner, indicating the creator of the work.

This illustration showcases the meticulously detailed skeletal structure of a marine creature, specifically the skull of a species identified as Megaptera novaeangliae, commonly known as the humpback whale. The image emphasizes the elongated, distinct shape of the skull, with prominent features that highlight the creature's adaptations for life in the ocean. The caption also notes the source of the illustration from the Field Columbian Museum, indicating its relevance to zoological studies. This representation serves as an important reference for marine biology and paleontology, illustrating the complexities of cetacean anatomy.
