    Old Copper Culture I-A Triangulates: ca. 4500-1000 B.C.E. (4K Map)
    Old Copper Culture I-A Triangulates: ca. 4500-1000 B.C.E. (4K Map)

    I-A Triangulates are one of the most numerous spearhead types the OCC produced. According to Larry Furo, a leading member of the Great Lakes Copper Research Group, there are likely thousands still waiting to be found or documented from private collections.

    Monette Bebow-Reinhard, the former curator of the Oconto Copper Museum in Wisconsin and one source for this data, is currently working on a new edition of her Copper Artifact Master Database book, the Central Wisconsin edition. When I last spoke with her, she still had a museum visit scheduled to document more artifacts. Expect the artifact count to keep increasing as more data becomes available.

    I have shadows enabled for these artifacts, so an area with heavy shadows is an artifact cluster. For example, there's a huge cluster in southern Wisconsin with over 250 I-A Triangulates noted.

    This map was designed using QGIS, and the Triangulate icon was made with GIMP.

    Treatment of LGBTQIA+ People Worldwide

    This map illustrates the legal status and treatment of people identifying as LGBTQIA+ across different countries.

    It uses a color-coded legend to show the various levels of legal recognition and punishment, ranging from the death sentence in red to the legal right to jointly adopt in dark blue.

    The map highlights significant disparities in LGBTQIA+ rights around the world, with some regions having extensive legal protections while others enforce severe penalties.
