Following what seems to be a Friday theme of finding interesting things embedded in artifacts - take a look at this handaxe from England! #FridayFinds #archaeology
This 📷 is a 500,000-year-old handaxe from West Tofts (🇬🇧) carefully carved to display a fossil shell, perhaps by an ancient human who wanted a prettier tool #FindsFriday

This #TBT we're looking at one of the OG islands: Ward's. The Ward's Island community started out in the 1880s when William Ward built a hotel and rented tents to visitors. By 1913, there were so many pitched tents that the City organized them into streets. 📷: @TorontoArchives
