The discovery of the #Roman #massgrave in #Vienna continues to make waves.
We presented the story of the discovery and preliminary results of the #excavation, which we carried out in cooperation with the Department of Urban #Archaeology of the City of Vienna, in one of the largest YouTube vlogs #InsideArchaeology. The Canadian archaeologist Rachel spoke with our #anthropologists Michaela Binder and Sheridan Strang, as well as the project manager on site Anette Slonek.

For #Findsfriday, we have a find from the #Roman #massgrave in #Vienna, #Simmering. It consists of several scales of Roman #scalearmour, also known as lorica squamata. Scale armour appears in our region from the year 100, influenced by #cavalry #soldiers from the east of the empire.
What is particularly interesting is that the scales from the Hasenleitengasse have square perforations - unusual, as these holes are normally round

Photo: A. Öcsi / Novetus GmbH The picture shows an archaeological excavation site. Human bones can be seen in the soil, with a fragment of scale armour underneath. The preserved scales are greenish in colour due to the patina. The scales are rectangular on the upper side and have two square perforations. The underside ends in a rounding.

Yesterday, Palestinians located the bodies of 15 aid workers in a mass grave in Gaza. One week after two ambulances were directly shot at by the Israeli military, the bodies of these Red Crescent workers were finally found handcuffed and crushed under their ambulances, concealed in a mass grave.

Israeli military kills 15 aid workers and hides handcuffed bodies in a mass grave. This is a global atrocity.

Mass Graves have long been some of the strongest evidence of war crimes - the Khmer Rouge, Guatemala, Rwanda, Burundi, Bosnia, etc. etc. And often the piece needed to put someone like Ratko Mladić behind bars after ICC procedings.

As such, it is ridiculous that US media is largely focused on university protests and false claims of anti-semitism and largely ignoring the news from Gaza.

The United Nations isn't: news.un.org/en/story/2024/04/1

hundreds of bodies “buried deep in the ground and covered with waste”

“Among the deceased were allegedly older people, women and wounded, while others were found tied with their hands…tied and stripped of their clothes,”

UN News · Mass graves in Gaza show victims’ hands were tied, says UN rights officeDisturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly found stripped naked with their hands tied, prompting renewed concerns about possible war crimes amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes, the UN human rights office, OHCHR, said on Tuesday.

10 hours after Al Jazeera reported on the new mass grave discovered at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis yesterday where 180 bodies had been found, and according to my searches, no western media has reported on it yet.

Middle East Eye has more up to date coverage. More than 200 bodies have been recovered and rescuers say they fear 400 bodies are buried there. middleeasteye.net/news/hundred

According to Al Jazeera, the bodies of children, elderly women and young men were among those found.

Rescue teams said some bodies had their hands bound behind their backs, suggesting they were executed and buried on the spot.

#NativeAmericans Ride to Remember #WoundedKneeMassacre

by Cecily Hilleary, December 21, 2018

WASHINGTON — "Dozens of #Lakota and other #NativeAmericanAllies are about to converge on #Bridger, South Dakota, for a pilgrimage they've made every December for the last 32 years: a 300-kilometer journey on horseback, retracing the historic journey, of a Lakota chief and 350 of his followers, that ended in a massacre.

"#AlexWhitePlume, a former president of the #OglalaSioux on the #PineRidge Reservation, is a founding member of the ride, which he organized in 1986 on the advice of his uncle, a spiritual interpreter.

"'My uncle said that we had to do some grieving over the historic #genocide of our people," said White Plume. 'As Lakota, our whole purpose is to be pure from trauma, ill feelings, guilt. But the historic genocide weighed so heavily on us that we couldn't think past it.'

"His uncle told him they had to bring back the grieving ritual, which Lakota no longer practiced. And to do that, White Plume needed to go back to the place where the Lakota's collective grief began.

Massacre at Wounded Knee

"In mid-December 1890, acting on government orders, tribal police arrested and killed Hunkpapa Lakota leader #SittingBull outside of his cabin on the #StandingRock reservation. His death came at a time when the government was on edge, worrying that #PlainsTribes were plotting rebellion against the abysmal conditions on reservations.

"Fearing for his people's safety, Sitting Bull's ally, #Minneconjou Lakota leader Spotted Elk (dubbed "Big Foot" by the cavalry for the size of his shoes), fled south to the Pine Ridge Reservation with about 350 Lakota, most of them women and children.

"The Army intercepted the travelers, who submitted peacefully and made camp along Wounded Knee Creek in Pine Ridge. On the morning of December 29, the Army began a search for weapons. A shot rang out — who fired and why is still not clear.

"The #USArmy opened a barrage of rifle, pistol and revolving cannon fire.

"Spotted Elk was among the first to fall, and 30 minutes later, as many as 300 Lakota lay dead — adults, children, and even infants. It wasn't until three days later that Army contractors gathered the dead and buried them in a #MassGrave at the rate of $2 per body.

"The massacre marked the end of the #IndianWars, ushering in an era of subjugation, forced assimilation and broken treaties..."
