I uploaded a paper to academia.edu on the 'workstation problem' last week to academia.edu (https://www.academia.edu/43323453/). This video explains what the problem is about and how the mathematics of graph theory helped numismatists solve it.
In this video I talk about a previous one on how historians count coins. You can find that video, on Sharma's Feudalism hypothesis and the so-called paucity of coinage here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7P_l6D0LLs.

Its October and I'm practicing my inking on a daily basis, so here is a time lapse video of two pieces, one based on Salabhanjika sculptures, the other on a Khajuraho image of the god Agni. Mixed in some random thoughts on art history in general.
Back to a normal format next month.

Marshall Sahlin's famous thesis that palaeolithic hunters lived in relative abundance because of their apparent lack of wants, based on data from modern hunter gatherer populations, has been deeply influential on anthropology. Is it also a useful reading for historians?

So, I begin this with an anecdote, a remark made by a colleague nearly a decade ago about the television series Time Team. Time Team is an unusual television series because it focuses on history is not on the stories that are told but on the process through which research is undertaken - and it has recently been revived on YouTube.

Having looked at Roman Republican coinage in general its time to turn attention specifically to the coins of Bursio, and particularly the die group, linkage 103, published by De Ruyter in 1997. This talk focuses on the numbered dies, explains some of my process for inter-die analysis, and highlights a curious discrepancy.

In 1973 Moses Finley published a book, The Ancient Economy, based on a series of lectures he had given the previous year. Though the radical challenge he presented was not new he was to become the most prominent advocate among ancient historians of what is known as the substantivist or primitivist position.
In the wake of Marxism economics was to be first substantial expansion of the historical field, particularly in the early decades of the twentieth century. But historians like Rostovzeff or the Annales group in France broadly assumed economics represented universal truths and could popular understandings of it were easily transferable to historical evidence. Finley would argue forcefully (and not alone, Marshall Sahlins and Karl Polanyi were very much part of the same movement) that in fact the ancient world was so different such applications were completely unsound.

The Battle on the Ice, fought in AD 1242 near lake Peipus, fought between Alexander Nevsky and forces of the Bishop of Dorpat, is famous but often misunderstood. This video looks at the sources for the battle and how they would be used if good historical method rather than nationalist pride and romantic imagination were the guide.
