A few interesting finds this morning.

In the midst of panic over a daunting book review, I took some time to clean out my history feeds in Google Reader. Waiting for me was an exciting article on a new hoard found in Sweden. Composed mostly of English and Danish coins, this hoard represents a fairly significant amount of medieval English silver. There are a few rare German coins apparently as well, but no indications which ones.

Also of interest was the discovery of the Nero era walls at Köln (Germany) during - not surprisingly - a train tunnel dig.

I've moved this blog over from Livejournal in an attempt to make better sense of my money spending. I feel a slight pang of guilt over this move considering that I've been a loyal LJ consumer for well on eight years now. This will be a better imposition on my pocket book, however.

flop.org has also moved to a cheaper home - namely Google Apps (free!). I highly recommend it.
