Die US-Regierung baut Konzentrationslager (für 50 Milliarden), erschiesst ihre eigenen Bürger und der Möchtegerndiktator postet Obama als Affen. Oder wie Caren Miosga in der ARD fragen würde: „Ist Trump ein Vorbild für Deutschland, Herr Chrupalla?“

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "I know mummies are cool but please be respectful, they are people."

Vor mehr als 250 Jahren bracht James Cook das Ahnenbild der #Māori​-Stammesführerin #Hinematioro nach London, von wo aus über Umwege in die Ethnologische Sammlung der @unituebingen.bsky.social gelangte - die nun angekündigt hat, es endgültig zurückgeben zu wollen: www.spiegel.de/kultur/beute...

Möchte irgendwer mich bezahlen, um so ein Projekt auch in Hannover aufzuziehen? Ich erinnere mich noch gut daran, dass auf meinem hannoveraner Gymnasium ein eingelegtes menschliches Gehirn in der Sammlung lag. 🏺

Fellow archaeologists! Has anyone come across ceramics that match this sherd? Findspot was SW Afghanistan. Dating is potentially 1st cent CE. Any/all leads are appreciated!

I screamed at this for so many different reasons... #Archaeology 🏺 #Detecting #Treasure www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Hi friends, anyone have access to this article and is willing to send me a PDF? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This is such historical bs. Humans have immigrated for as long as we've been human. Immigration has been absolutely instrumental to humanity as a whole and almost all societies in history have had, and benefited from, immigration. 🏺

An absolute legend gone too soon. She will be missed!

Question, because I'm enraged and wondering if any of you have dealt with stuff like this too: Some days ago I got an email from an AI company offering to set up an "AI searchable" profile for my research. I ignored the email and now got another one saying that they just set one up. Advice? 🏺

🚨 Job alert! The University of Tübingen announces a W3 (Full) Professorship in Early Hominin Evolution in the framework of the DFG Cluster of Excellence 'HUMAN ORIGINS': uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet... Application deadline: 11.03.2026 🚨

Hey #Archaeology peeps: if you had a daughter who really wants to major in anthropology (despite all your arguments against), what fieldschool would you send her to? I'm thinking best educational experience, getting to know archaeologists, and an excellent, safe director.

Does anyone happen to have access to this and might be happy to send me a PDF? www.torrossa.com/en/resources...

This morning I learned with great sadness of the death of Andreas Effland, Egyptologist at Göttingen University. He was a great educator, a friendly face to students and faculty, and I'm looking back fondly on his classes I took. Eulogy of the department (in German) below. 🏺

"she was a citizen" "he was a nurse" so what? the government shouldn't get to murder immigrants or assholes in the street either what the fuck

Der verkrampfte Versuch, jederzeit "journalistische Neutralität" zu wahren führt bei nahezu allen ehemaligen Qualitätsmedien zum Weitertragen von Desinformation. In der BBC ebenso wie im deutschen ÖRR. Das kann so nicht weitergehen. SAGEN, WAS IST! #Journalismus

„Alle Zusagen nach Paragraf 22 des Aufenthaltsgesetzes für Personen der Menschenrechtsliste & des Überbrückungsprogramms aber wurden nach Auskunft der Bundesregierung mit der Begründung zurückgenommen, sie seien nicht rechtsverbindlich. Es bestehe kein politisches Interesse mehr an einer Aufnahme.“

Hey Philly folks! My foster cats are available for adoption, if you're interested — or know someone who is. You can find out more here: www.instagram.com/p/DTqQ1DBEfc... Message me or email me at [email protected] Share to Philly folks! Let's get these cats their forever home!

Leider keine Überraschung: #Palantir ist in die brutalen Massenfestnahmen von ICE eingebunden & kooperiert eng mit der Trump-Regierung. Wir dürfen uns von diesem Konzern nun nicht weiter abhängig machen. Und wir sollten keinen Überwachungsstaat aufbauen, den Rechtsextreme dann übernehmen können.

Does anyone have access to the American Journal of Archaeology? My ICS membership doesn't give me online access to the more recent volumes, and I really don't want to have to spend a day/£20 getting a train into London to see their physical copy of 129.2. I miss institutional access...

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

von Däniken relied on the JAQ (just asking questions) method to promote racist ideas through pseudoarchaeological narratives. These ideas permeated all of his books, were broadcast to and normalized through enormous audiences over decades, and have even found homes in far-right places.

Ihr schiebt nach Iran ab. Ihr erschwert den Zugang zu humanitären Visa für politisch Verfolgte aus Iran. Das ist keine Solidarität. Ihr stärkt mit eurer Asylpolitik die Täter.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Repeat after me: Archaeology is never unpolitical. 🏺

Hey folks, does anyone have access to this book chapter? "The Link Between Climate Change and Digitization of Archives in South Africa" - I'd be your best pal if you could get access and send it over... 🙏 www.igi-global.com/chapter/the-...

Complete stab in the dark here. Does anyone have access to The St. Lucia Archaeological and Historical Society series? I'm desperately looking for a pamphlet in the series published by Charles Jesse in 1969 in the St. Lucia Miscellany issue. Only copy I can find is physical volume in Jamaica.

My aspirations for 2026: - finally finish writing the article I've been working on - get this baby born - move more - be less hard on myself

So happy to see all my history/archaeology peers sharing their achievements of this year! But it's also hard. I've been trying to write the same article all year and haven't gotten anywhere because pregnancy kinda sucks, actually. Hopefully next year will be more productive. 🏺

I’m not asking for historical accuracy in a myth movie retelling, but ffs this is the bare minimum. Stripping color and the humanity of antiquity perpetuates this tired-ass idea of ancient art being white which is a slippery slope to fascism.

das ist eine sehr wichtige petition für meine trans* und nicht-binären siblings. da sie sich direkt an den bundestag richtet, muss er sich auch damit auseinandersetzen, wenn das quorum erreicht wird. es würde mich sehr freuen, wenn ihr sie unterzeichnen würdet. 💕 danke.

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! This picture is not just festive but also explains why research has been slow on my end in the last months. The next archaeo-baby is in the works!

How do you tune (or modulate) an instrument in ancient Babylonia? Fragmentary instructions have survived that tell you how to go from one mode to another on a 9-stringed musical instrument called a sammû

Just watched the Odyssey trailer and honestly, why is everything grey & brown? Why does Agamemnon look like Batman? Why is the whole trailer so dark? I didn't expect them to do accurate bronze age Greece, I didn't even expect them to do accurate archaic Greece, but you have to give me something. 🏺

What historians (and other scholars do) is create knowledge. We should use that phrase more and talk about what it means. I think we don't, and it's part of why AI enthusiasts are confused when we don't readily agree that our work can be replicated/replaced by their products.

Oh Ian….this is sooooooo not the case in academia

Just saw an ad for a new Samsung phone with "AI assistant" planning a museum tour for the user and I just.... are curators and museum guides a joke to you? 🏺

Despite frequent remonstrations from digital archivists, Persephone never accepted that she could not photocopy a whole book in one go.

A new study of over 1,000 mummies from ancient Nubia found that the frequency of tattoos increased after Christianity was introduced — and even toddlers had ink. 🏺🧪

This excellent thread got me through a very long night with very little sleep. Highly recommend.

A lovely family member gifted me this Colosseum build set for my birthday in October and tonight I finally got around to building it. It's small and cute and I love the little trees. 🏺

Labour strikes aren’t new! The first recorded strike in history took place in Egypt some 3,200 years ago! The ‘Strike Papyrus’ records that tomb workers of King Ramesses III downed tools over pay and conditions circa 1157 BC! Museo Egizio, Turin 📷 by me #Archaeology

Hey 🏺colleagues working in SW Asia: I am searching for contacts to museums with prehistory on display in the region, and struggle to find some online. Who could help me with contacts to the Iraq National Museum, Lebanon National Museum, and/or National Museums in Syria?

Da ist doch heute was zum #litgangwichteln angekommen 😊 Ich werde zwar erst an Weihnachten auspacken, aber trotzdem schon mal ganz viel Dank an @poettgen.cc! Ich bin schon sehr gespannt.

one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it
