Cassettes, Nintendo controllers, Motorola cell phones, Floppy Disks, Sony Walkmans, Boomboxes, 8 Track Tapes and Rotary phones are among the cement hand-cast 'modern fossils' by artist Christopher Locke of Austin, Texas. Using a special process, these items - which are given humorous Latin names- are reproduced in a proprietary blend of concrete and other secret ingredients, giving them the look and feel of real stone fossils. Each fossil is made one at a time, by hand, in an individual mold and available for purchase from the artist. As you will notice, colors vary. Modern Fossils as described by Christopher Locke (aka Heartless Machines): These are modern fossils. They are made from actual archaic technology that was once cutting-edge. Most of these examples were discovered in the United States, although the various species are represented all over the world. It is sad, but most of these units lived very short lives. Most people attribute the shortened lifespan to aggressive predators or accelerated evolution, but this is not necessarily true. It has been shown recently that the true demise of most of these specimens came from runaway consumerism and wastefulness at the high end of the food chain. Hilarofustis atarium (commonly referred to as the Atari Joystick): Dominaludus supernintendicus (commonly referred to as the Supernintendo Controller or "SNES"): Asportatio octoamatis (commonly referred to as the 8 track tape): Ludustatarium temperosony (Commonly referred to as "Playstation controller" or "Dual Shock"): Deferovoculae circumdactylos (commonly referred to as the Rotary dial telephone, or rotary phone): Deferovoculae cellarius (commonly referred to as "Cellular Phone" or "Cellphone") This particular example is a "Motorola Meteor": Bombus colaphus (commonly referred to as "Boom Box" or "Ghetto Blaster"): Egosiliqua malusymphonicus (commonly referred to as the iPod): Ambulephebus sonysymphonia (commonly referred to as the Walkman): Asportatio acroamatis (commonly referred to as the Cassette Tape): Repondicium antiquipotacium (commonly referred to as the 3.5 inch floppy disc): Dexteludicrum repuerasco (commonly referred to as Game Boy): Dominaludus nintendicus (commonly referred to as the Nintendo Controller): Dominaludus sexagentaquad (commonly referred to as the Nintendo 64 Controller or "N64"): Anaticula persequor (commonly referred to as the Nintendo Zapper or Duck Hunt Gun): Below is a "hive" of original NES parts. One Anaticula persequor in the middle, surrounded by five examples of Dominaludus nintendicus, with a fragment of Dexteludicrum repuerasco near the top. This is the only one of its kind: Because of the hand-made nature of the item, there will be variations in pigmentation, and small imperfections in the surface. While you can choose a general color range, please keep in mind that each fossil is unique, and color variations are inevitable. Each "species" of modern fossil has a Latin name marked on the bottom or back, and can be shipped straight to your door. Lead times vary. Some of these fossils would not have been possible without the generous help and support from the Austin Computer Works. They are saving our planet, one mouse at a time. Many of the original specimens were loaned to me mid-stream in their recycling program. The items are fossilized and returned, so they can be recycled. There is absolutely zero e-waste from these fossils, thanks to the Austin Computer Works. Some pieces are also on display at their museum. About Christopher Locke aka Heartless Machines: Christopher graduated from the George Washington University with a degree in fine arts, specializing in sculpture. He's very passionate about creating, and says that he feels like sculpture is his purpose. On his site, there are a few things expressly noted as collaborations with Howard Connelly Designs, but everything else is his own work, of his own design, and made on his own time for his own satisfaction. Nothing there has been backed by a corporate sponsor. It's all one-of-a-kind, and comes straight from his soul. See them all and order them here

Currently housed at the British Museum in London, the Rosetta stone is considered one of the most prominent archaeological discoveries of all time. But what makes it so important?
A technique of stone-tool manufacture in which flakes are removed from a flint core in a way that causes less wasteful shatter of the material than direct percussion. The hammer or hammerstone does not strike the flint but rather a wood, antler, or bone punch, usually with a prepared edge, so that the manufacture of flakes is more controlled.
Archaeology is a great way to incorporate Science and History together at the same time. There are so many types of historical artifacts you can learn about that can tie into your history studies. You can learn about archaeologists as scientists and historians, or you can do a unit study on archaeology digs. I love the freedom that homeschooing gives us that we can learn about any subject that interests our children!

Eleanor Parke Custis 1897-1983 | American Karnak Signed 'Eleanor Parke Custis -' (lower right) Gouache and charcoal on paper American painter Eleanor Parke Custis demonstrates her mastery of the gouache medium in Karnak. A celebration of color and a relic of the artist’s travels abroad, the composition is well-balanced, exuding photojournalistic and documentarian qualities. In Karnak, Custis paints a compelling and dynamic image of a great ancient Egyptian ruin. Seven distant men, likely Bedouins dressed in their traditional long gowns and headscarves, walk toward the viewer at the center of the frame. The imposing stone architecture of the archaeological ruins at Karnak stretches into the solid blue sky, making the men appear diminutive next to the pillars’ monumental size. Fields of warm orange, red and yellow hues dominate the painting. Deep shadows cloak the interior of the structures, and the viewer can imagine the heat of the afternoon sun, which appears to be almost directly overhead. Eleanor Parke Custis began her artistic studies at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design in Washington, D.C. under famed American Impressionist Edmund C. Tarbell, also studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. She hailed from a prominent family in Washington D.C. and resided in the nation’s capital for the majority of her life. Custis moved to Gloucester, Massachusetts in 1960. Custis was incredibly well-traveled, finding inspirations for her watercolors and gouaches throughout Europe and South America. She took a Mediterranean cruise in 1934 that brought her new interest in the markets of Morocco, the archaeological sites of Cairo and the streets of Jerusalem. The compelling Karnak composition was certainly a product of this trip, infused with the photojournalistic realism that defines her gouaches of this period. Custis’ works reside in the permanent collections of many prestigious American museums, including the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts.

Fifth graders recently studied the Aztec Sun Stone in Art class. The Aztecs lived in Mexico from around 1300-1500 AD. They worshipped the sun because it provided life to all people. They carved a huge stone disk, three feet thick and almost twelve feet in diameter that is now known as the Sun Stone or the Aztec Calendar. When the Conquistadores arrives, it was buried after no one was able to destroy it. In 1760 it was found buried in Mexico City and is now in the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. The Stone shows how the Aztecs believed the world went through four creations and destructions. They used glyphs, or picture symbols, to communicate meaning. It is a complex and fascinating calendar system with the face of the sun in the center of the radial design. Fifth graders were able to create their own radially symmetrical design using gylphs. They began with pencil and repeated shapes around the circle and creating an interesting sun face. They added paint and marker, finishing their projects with cut pieces of construction paper!
