This series focuses on one artifact at a time, taking a deep dive into its nature, context, function, and possible cultural meanings. Each featured piece has a short 2-4 minute video introduction, followed by a more comprehensive written analysis. To review these artifacts and their stories, visit the Inside the Collections page. |
