12,000-year-old elk hide, sewn with hand-spun cord, found in an Oregon cave. Likely the world's oldest known sewing. Our nan claims she's been at it just as long. 🧵 Dry caves preserve everything. Ancient humans were extraordinary. What do you reckon they were making? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/these-12000-year-old-scraps-of-elk-hide-may-be-the-worlds-oldest-known-examaples-of-sewing-180988200/ #caving #history #americanhistory #ancienthumans #archaeology

#OnThisDay, 30 Jan 1913, Ida B Wells forms the Alpha Suffrage Club in Chicago, Illinois, to give a voice to Black women who had been excluded by national suffrage organisations because of their race. In March 1913, the club headed to Washington DC to take part in the national Women’s Suffrage Procession. They were told to march at the back, in a segregated section, so as not to upset white southern women. #WomenInHistory #OTD #History #WomensHistory #AmericanHistory #Histodons 1/2
