Evolutionary offshoot. This prominent ridge along the top of the skull of Paranthropus aethiopicus was for anchoring its strong jaw muscles. A heavy jaw and big teeth probably enabled it to chew tough, woody plants. Living in Kenya between 2.3-2.7 million years ago, it may have been an ancestor of the robust australopithecines. These creatures were an evolutionary offshoot that probably died out due to environmental change or competition by the newly evolving human species.

Cuneiform tablet: Utukku lemnutu, tablet 12 ca. late 1st millennium B.C. Seleucid The invention of writing in approximately 3300 B.C. was one of many developments in administrative technology--including the use of geometric tokens for counting and cylinder seals to guarantee transactions--that accompanied the growth of the first cities and states in southern Mesopotamia. Proto-cuneiform is the name given to the earliest form of writing--pictograms that were drawn on clay tablets. Gradually, the pictograms became abstracted into cuneiform (Latin, "wedge-shaped") signs that were impressed rather than drawn. At its greatest extent, cuneiform writing was used from the Mediterranean coast of Syria to western Iran and from Hittite Anatolia to southern Mesopotamia. It was adapted to write at least fifteen different languages. The last dated cuneiform text has a date corresponding to A.D. 75, although the script probably continued in use over the next two centuries.In later periods especially,

Lazio Roma Rome S. Saba1. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Principle views of church exterior, interior, and Oratorio di S. Silva (basement level) in Medieval collection. Views remaining with Hutzel collection are of the portico, where medieval relief fragments are displayed along with antiquities, and of frescoes from the church interior. Antiquities: Sarcophagi, stele, relief fragments. German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s until his death. The result of this project, referred to by Hutzel as Foto Arte Minore, is thorough documentation of art historical development in Italy up to the 18th century, including objects of the Etruscans and the Romans, as well as early Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. Images are organized by geographic region in Italy, then by province, city, site complex and monument.
