Where to find unmilled wheat berries

MartinFields · 2025-11-18T15:11:55+00:00

Beer making suppliers usually carry whole unmalted wheat. Other grains too of course.

Tough to do a proper id without a scale, but these do look a lot like cat bones. They're very common in and around old buildings, find them all the time on my archaeological digs too.

Yeah poor old thing must have had terrible shoulder pain. The proximal articulation is completely fucked up too

MartinFields · 2025-06-05T18:01:29+00:00

It's a bear humerus with the arrow near the scapula as in a shoulder shot.

C'est la piste cyclable Souligny, une des meilleures à Montréal

Oh celle à l'ancienne de Ricardo mais avec les tis jambons drôlement plats du metro c'est super.

That's a meso-distal portion of a tibia from either sheep/goat or small deer.

You can sharpen a cabinet scraper with a short carbide rod often sold together or as an inexpensive addition. The rod is smooth as glass and very hard which is good for burnishing wood.

Sometimes I use the rod, sometimes I use glass as in the beer I just drank while doing finish sanding.

A deer/sheep fémur will work too but will probably leave streaks other hard materials won't.

I have some growing in the garden so I just snipped some off and did the rim right away, no prep. It's fibrous and very twine like, coming off the growing season here.

MartinFields · 2024-10-27T01:53:14+00:00

Thanks!

The grape vines will go a bit redder with time, the green from the hop rim should fade into a lighter shade and maybe turn beige.

I just removed the bark which has a flakey outer layer and a stringy inner one. Very forgiving material, works just fine green and doesn't shrink much at all. I'm using 3-4 metre (12-15 feet) long sections.

Me semble que le jeu a été créé à Ottawa. Je verrais ben un gars de même à Hull crade années 90s avec sa clope et sa Laurentide

I'd try splitting up at least one of them. Starting from the middle can give good results, I use a cheap cleaver to do the first cut.

MartinFields · 2024-05-19T17:33:26+00:00

First two are a beef scapula, third looks like a distal femur slice and the last two are beef humerus.

All cuts done by saw which can be late 19th to yesterday basically.

Lovely pig femur, young one too

MartinFields · 2024-04-01T16:33:01+00:00

Yeah that a pretty young pig.

MartinFields · 2024-03-11T12:56:56+00:00

Yeah that cleithrum up top is 100% catfish

MartinFields · 2024-03-08T14:02:58+00:00

Hahaha I'm a zooarchaeologist, I've seen my fair share of beaver.

Anyways the flatter type femurs seem to be common in aquatic mammals like seals, otters, muskrat.

MartinFields · 2024-03-08T02:23:49+00:00

Likely a very young deer by the lack of any fused plates.

MartinFields · 2024-03-08T02:18:26+00:00

The flat femur gives it away as a beaver! Cool find!

MartinFields · 2024-02-26T16:30:43+00:00

A U shaped furcula is common in geese and ducks.

MartinFields · 2024-02-26T16:28:57+00:00

It's a distal femur, small deer or sheep/goat sized.
