Scorpion:

Wappenbuch Conrads von Grünenberg, p163 (https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/bsb00035320?page=163), Or, a scorpion sable

In December 2019, the device of Westley Morgan, Per pale gules and sable, a dragon's head couped contourny counterchanged was returned as it did not demonstrate the pattern of counterchanging a single asymmetrical animate charge over a low-contrast line of division.

Though we have not be able to provide further support for this pattern, we believe that this scorpion is similar to the single-headed eagle in being almost symmetrical (with just the tail being on one side, analagous to the eagle's head) and thus retains identifiability on this field.

6: Matthijs Tjepke van der Horst - Resub Badge (KLoI)

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in February of 2016, via Lochac.

Azure, on a pale sable fimbrated Or, a mullet of 16 points Or and a lighthouse issuant from base argent

This submission is to be associated with Domus Stellarum

Consulting Herald Matthijs Tjepke van der Horst.
Submitter is from Rowany.

The previous version of this badge, Azure, on a pale sable fimbrated Or, a mullet of 8 points between eight gouttes point outwards in annulo Or and a lighthouse issuant from base argent (image #1), appeared on the March 2023 KLoI and was returned as the gouttes could not be blazoned as part of the same charge group as the mullet and lighthouse. As per SENA Appendix I, a single charge group (in this case, the pale) may only have one tertiary charge group on it (http://heraldry.sca.org/sena.html#AppendixI3). This redesign addresses the reason for return.

7: Tassilon of Saint Monica - New Badge (KLoI)

OSCAR finds the name on the Lochac LoI of July 28, 2023 as submitted.

(Fieldless) A crow purpure

Consulting Herald ffride wlffsdotter.
Submitter is from Saint Monica.

Kingdom Badge Notes

-Clear of Teffania de Tuckerton, Ermine, an owl purpure. There is a DC for fieldlessness and another for the difference between an owl and a crow. Relevant precedent: "Owls and ravens do not appear to have been used interchangeably in period, so there is significant difference between them. [Hróðgeirr Hrafnsson, 05/2010, Atlantia-A]" If there is a DC between an owl and a raven, there should be a DC between an owl and a crow.

-In November 2012 ([Alejandro Ramirez Mendoza, 11/2012, A-Ansteorra]) it was ruled that "There is at least a DC between a falcon in its default close posture and a pelican in its default vulning posture." The same almost certainly holds true for a crow and therefore this is clear of the regalia/badges for the Order of the Pelican, (Tinctureless) A pelican in its piety and (Tinctureless) A pelican vulning itself.

-In February 2006 ([Catherine Townson, 02/2006, A-An Tir]) it was ruled that there was a CD between a raven and a popinjay when both were properly drawn, but no difference between a falcon and a popinjay. I'm not finding a ruling on a popinjay vs. a crow, but there may well be a DC between the two. If not, this will conflict with Damian Papyngeye, Plumetty argent and vert, a popinjay purpure.

Systematic seasonal land use by late Pleistocene Tasmanian Aborigines

Archaeological studies of faunal residues have thrown considerable light on the behavioral attributes of late Pleistocene Tasmanian Aboriginal people (Cosgrove et al., 1990, Cosgrove, 1995a, Cosgrove and Allen, 2001, Cosgrove and Pike-Tay, 2004, Garvey, 2006, Hartzell et al., 1999, Holdaway and Cosgrove, 1997, Pike-Tay and Cosgrove, 2002). One characteristic of the Tasmanian limestone cave sites is their extreme richness, especially the high numbers of prey animal bones deposited over a 25,000-year period of occupation, between 35,000 and 10,000 years BP. Densities of up to 250,000 bones in less than a cubic meter are common in many sites. A limited number of prey species are found in the faunal assemblages, with the Bennett's wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) and Common wombat (Vombatus ursinus) bones on average comprising 75 and 15%, respectively (Table 1, Table 2) (Cosgrove, 1999, McWilliams et al., 1999).

According to the archaeological record, wombats were the second most common prey animal in Ice Age Tasmania, with people focusing on their skull, shoulder girdle and forelimbs. The "meaty" wombat pelvic region and bone marrow were largely ignored.

The La Trobe University Research Enhancement and Travel Fund, the Vassar College Committee on Research, Environmental Institute, and URSI Funds supported this work. Permits to analyze and export the archaeological materials to the USA were given by the Tasmanian Government. The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) and Tasmanian Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (TALSC), Hobart, permitted us to analyse the faunal remains.

At the time of European settlement, 200 years ago, the Bare-nosed Wombat was wide spread from southeastern Queensland, through New South Wales along the Great Dividing Range to most of Victoria (except the northwestern corner of the state). It was also present in the southeast of South Australia, in Tasmania and on many of the larger Bass Strait Islands.
