There’s something extraordinary about this otherwise pretty standard Late Bronze Age axehead:

A human fingerprint. A real, visible and tangible connection to someone from 3000 years ago. If that doesn’t give you goosebumps, idk what will. 🥹

Photo of a Bronze Age socketed axe head with a zoomed in thumbnail of a finger print on one of the faces towards the blade edge. The axe is dark green with oxidation and the surface of the blade edge has been lost.

Audre Lorde wrote this in 1980…
An excerpt from Audre Lorde’s 1980 essay Age, Race, Class and Sex: “ Today, with the defeat of ERA, the tightening economy, and increased conservatism, it is easier once again for white women to believe the dangerous fantasy that if you are good enough, pretty enough, sweet enough, quiet enough, teach the children to behave, hate the right people, and marry the right men, then you will be allowed to co-exist with patriarchy in relative peace, at least until a man needs your job or the neighborhood rapist happens along. And true, unless one lives and loves in the trenches it is difficult to remember that the war against dehumanization is ceaseless.”
