Sorry for the newb question #archaeology fam but can anyone clarify what a double pediment is? Is it just when a building has 2 pediments (1 on each short end), or is it something else?

Minoan vases with octopuses are always a delight, but relatively common. This rare vase shows a different type of marine animal: an argonaut. It's an octopus-like animal that lives on the seabed in a shell. The Minoans were masters of depicting aquatic creatures. 🕰️c1500 BC 🏛️📷Heraklion Museum

Archaeology has never been and never will be apolitical, and we as archaeologists need to be able to be honest in how our actions are part of this. Are we doing as much as we can to minimise harm, to shift power & give agency to others? Or are we perpetuating the same sort of harm done historically?
