Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Got a link with info about how the masks were dated?

[–] PugJesus 5 points 1 week ago

I believe they were dated by the archeological context in which they were found, ie that they were found as part of a neolithic era site.
