Tänasega saan doktoritööle joone alla tõmmata - Eesti üliõpilaste teadustööde riiklikult konkursilt tulin koju Muinsuskaitseameti eripreemia ja kogu konkursi peapreemiaga! Palju õnne ka kõikidele teistele laureaatidele etag.ee/uliopilaste-...

mõnikord tunnen esitlust kokku pannes nagu õpiks jõulukingi saamiseks luuletust pähe elevil ja ootusärev

Mul on uudiseid - mind valiti Eesti Noorte Teaduste Akadeemia liikmeks! Tunne on uhke ja ülev, aga eriti tore, et minu pisikesest-pisikesest osakonnast osutus valituks veel üks noor akadeemik. Uued liikmed saavad suuna kätte jaanuaris, eks siis raporteerin uuesti www.akadeemia.ee/eesti-noorte...

Täna toimub arheoloogiliste välitööde päev, kus arheoloogid tutvustavad 2025. aastal toimunud tööde tulemusi ning esitletakse Archaeological Fieldwork in Estonia 2024 kogumikku. Kuulata saab Teamsis: arheoloogideliit.ee/uudis/ave-pa...

Grandikirjutamise töötuba on olnud väga inspireeriv ja õpetlik, aga võimalik, et see on kõige väsitavam, kus ma eales osalenud. Pildil: üritasin hotellis esimese hooga hambapastaga ripsmetušši eemaldada

Exciting days ahead, I am joining a three-day grant writing workshop for early career researchers. The event kicks off with a masterclass by @nobelprize.org laureate Prof Svante Pääbo in dialogue with six PhD candidates #ECR

see on nii raju arheoloogia, armastan

Our final research grant of the 2025 autumn round went to @davitsbd.bsky.social (@incipitcsic.bsky.social) for his project 'The Time of Last-Centuries Pastoralism in Uplands: Refining the Chronology of the Mallatas de Albella Complex (Aragonese Pyrenees) through OSL Dating'. Photos: see ALT 1/2

On Friday - I had two meetings & two exhibition opening parties. The first of the latter two was at Tallinn City Life Museum (Linnaelumuuseum). The renewed museum will open to visitors today with two exhibition - the Wealthy & Handsome details the history of the 1/

You already heard about the ceremony on Thursday but let’s rewind to Monday evening - I arrived back in Estonia with the artefacts! Although the preliminary study & datasets I put together on Roman & Italian artefacts found from Estonia for the exhibition are all certainly publication-worthy 1/3

Today’s the day - Estonian National Heritage Board annual awards ceremony is tonight! I’m nominated in the category “Find of the year” for my work alongside metal detectorist E. Järvekülg who found C11 coins & other artefacts from the island of Hiiumaa & reported the discovery. Pics: I. Leimus

Sometimes you get notified about new research unrelated to your work but impossible to not read. I present to you an article that appeared in the Journal of Baltic Studies @tandfresearch.bsky.social, the first decade of #discotheques in #Latvia (1973-1983) by Daina Bleiere: doi.org/10.1080/0162...

The second SPMA #researchgrant takes us to #Peru. We're pleased to support the study: 'Upper-class households & their colonial legacies: how affluent domestic materiality perpetuates coloniality in Lima, Peru', led by Aldo Javier Accinelli Obando (@uvahumanities.bsky.social). Photos: see ALT

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending an evening dedicated to the #Salme #Viking burials at the Swedish Embassy in Estonia, hosted by the ambassador Charlotte Wrangberg 1/4

The exhibition "Tracce d´Italia nell'Estonia d'ambra" is open to the public until Sunday at Museo dei Grandi Fiumi in #Rovigo. Visitors can learn about objects of Roman & Italian origin as well as the amber objects that have been found from Estonia. 1/4 Photo: Estonian Embassy in Rome

Mina kui ma olen end ruunanud viimastel nädalatel ja töökoormus hakkab lõpuks stabiliseeruma, aga veel paar asja lõpetada ja mu keha otsustab, et aeg on teha väike kurguvalu-kael kange-kas see on palavik? üritus

yo aura wtf ma tahtsin lihtsalt enne und telefonis istuda, nüüd mängin märka AI-d

Results of the autumn round of #SPMA Research Grants are in! We'll showcase the winning projects over the coming days. For the first time, one of the grants went to Ukraine for the research project led by Liudmyla Myronenko (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Institute of Archaeology) 1/3

Buongiorno a Rovigo! This morning I presented my paper on Roman and Italian artefacts in Estonian #archaeology at Camera di Commercio Venezia #Rovigo. One of the nicest hall I have presented in & what an amazing team of organisers!

So interesting to learn about this: a manuscript bound in seal skin, with eight surviving pages, possibly among the earliest surviving books written in Norway. www.sciencenorway.no/cultural-his...

Lätlased on toredad, aga igat asja ei pea kopeerima (+ lugusid rubriigist: kes oleks küll võinud arvata, et antud erakond sellist asja nõudma hakkab)

Mina elan Itaaliast kaasa, aga kes kohapeal, võtke nõuks osaleda

Absolutely right decision from the President of Latvia! Really hoping that this process will be reversed and Latvia will not withdraw from the convention www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-e...

Mum, the Teutonic Order is messing with my breakfast again…

Well that’s a few more days to submit that abstract I have been postponing… 👀

Viimase hetke lugu, aga kas keegi tahab Sõprusesse minna Rocky Horror Showle? Mul on kaks piletit www.kinosoprus.ee/en/movie/roc...

Tavapärasemast varem liikvel. Bussipeatuses EU teavitus rõivaste ületarbimise kohta ja kuidas uue asja ostmine pole vajadus, vaid harjumus. Järgmine reklaam: Mastercard Click to Pay ja esimene rida, Mastercard kleit vaid ühe kliki kaugusel

Uurin enda jaoks natuke uuemat teemat, valdav osa allikaid: sellised leiud on Eestis väga haruldased. Hakkasin siis tabelisse lisama. Praegu 250 rea e 568 leiu juures & ma alles osaliselt ühe kogu asju vaadanud. Idk äkki ‘haruldased’ asemel on need hoopiski vähe uuritud? (jah on see vastus btw)

Mul on õhtu otsa hing ärev

SPÄM: ugghh, pean töö tõttu vastu võtma võõraid numbreid (muuseumid, tellijad, ametnikud), aga viimased nädalad saan lisaks kõnesid, mis algavad piiksuga & siis otsa tuleb kas vaikus, lärm või venekeelne tervitus. +372 5190 0345, +372 5912 1643, +372 550 1211 on need nrid, mis hetkel veel meeles

Mis on see üks asi, mida peaks kindlasti Riias olles tegema? #riga

Ma viimastel päevadel vahetan keelt nii palju ja töö on nii paljudeks omavahel sidumata tükkideks jaotatud, et mu suust väljub praeguseks ainult Estonglish. Nädal jätkub:algab pühapäeval rahvusvahelise töögrupi õhtusöögiga enne 4-päevast töötuba, aga enne seda on reede õhtu ja laupäev! Puhkus!

Kuna paljusid minu uuritavaid klaasitööliste perekondi tabas korduvalt laste varajane surm tänaseks ennetavate haiguste läbi, olen ma korduvalt saanud seda näiteks tuua antivax argumentidele. Kes vähegi genealoogiat harrastanud, teab küll, millest ma räägin

Any tea can become boba tea if I forget about it for long enough (instant boba to save all forgotten teas from the drain)

Happy #findsfriday! I’m putting together a temporary exhibition on Estonian archaeology & the Amber Road (La Via dell’Ambra) which you can visit at Museo dei Grandi Fiumi in Rovigo, Italy this November. Here are some #amber beads from a 16th-century hoard

👀 Keeping an eye on the Lithuanians

Amazing artefacts but the ads & featured articles are really quite something, perhaps the spammiest archaeology news I have tried to read in a while (hi to all the ladies in my area & sorry for all the doctors whose secret weight loss tips are exposed, my phone screen can only fit so much clickbait)

It really is the season for ‘after this week is done, things should slow down a bit’ on perpetual loop again, isn’t it?

Küsimus IT-, äri- või poliitiliselt orienteeritud eestlastele: Kas keegi teab veebipõhist tõlkefirmat #SmartCAT? Sain aru, et selle asutasid venelane ja eestlane ning enne selle kasutamise otsustamist tahan teada esimese seisukohta tänapäeva putinismi suhtes (ja eelkõige seda kuhu tema kasum läheb).
