In what I hope is an isolated incident, I have experienced disbelief when I have stated that I am going to Uni of Oxford.They said: Oh, Oxford Brookes, I said: No. They said: Are you sure? 😧 I said, somewhat in shock: Yes. Of course I thought of @afuahirsch.bsky.social who had similar experiences🏺

Very nice 🧬 but when, oh when, are we going to stop using “sub-Saharan Africa” in academia? 🤦🏽‍♀️ 🏺

I finally got around to graduating from UoS last month… Of course I wore my keffiyeh… One of the lecturers told me afterwards they were so happy to see it they almost shouted out to me on the stage! 🙌🏽🏺 #Graduation #FreePalestine #GazaGenocide #Archaeology #Graduate #LaterBluesky

CW: Thumbnail has images of human remains… This is a nifty paper illustrating the use of bespoke software to create 3D reconstructions of palaeopathological events. Trying to convince a fellow arch that the future is digital in our discipline! 🏺 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Super proud of my friend and fellow ESBAA society member Benjamina Efua Dadzie. This is her first research article in a journal and is in part synthesised from her PhD 🤩 Said I would share so here it is and open access too 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 🏺 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Oh I love this paper, it has so many aspects of human endeavour. 🙌🏽 The spelunking in difficult karst topography to commemorate this momentous occasion of course reminds me of our ancestors’ similar endeavours. The determination. Poor light. The artwork. Bloody gorgeous. 🏺 arxiv.org/html/2410.03...

Also because I’m plotting at the mo, apart from Uni of B’ham does any other archaeology department specialise in archaeoentomology? 🏺

Well I got this offer from UoO earlier this year & after dithering I accepted. Whoo hoo! Unfortunately I did not acquire the scholarship to fund it. Boo! 😕 May be able to fund some (loan) but not all of it (nearly £20k)- any ideas? The dude suggested women in STEM but I haven’t found anything yet.🏺

Segovia, Spain. Went to see some Roman architecture, was happy to witness solidarity. #Gaza #Spain #Segovia #Aqueduct #Roman

Some of you may have seen the video of the wounded, dead & screaming children in Gaza today. I hesitated initially but I watched it because we must bear witness. It is horrifying. It seems appropriate to post Baldwin, perhaps every day, until there is some semblance of moral clarity. #genocide #gaza

There’s nothing congratulatory about this. I find it a colossal disappointment. 🏺

It’s a cracked earth and paw prints kind of day… 🐾

@danherb10.bsky.social Saw these on a little sojourn to Oxford and thought of you! #IndomitableGauls #Asterix

I should say lengthy research “by me”. No edit function on posts yet! 😬 Loving that in the Gulf of Guinea pet pythons were kept in roofs to capture rats. 👏🏽 This in turn had me thinking of bronze pythons in Benin which adorned rooftops! 🏺🐍🦠

Today I’m thinking of pythons, plague and gene mutations. Thankful for Shadreck Chirikure’s article which spawned lengthy research as to whether West Africa was touched by Y. pestis in antiquity. 🏺 theconversation.com/archaeology-...

Okay, this really made me laugh. Perhaps reviewer two can be relieved of blame for a little while… The memes may have to change! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/NZM3IB... #Reviewer2 #PeerReview

Should we have or are we already having a conversation about the carbon footprint in archaeology? Had a chat about this last year with a lovely ECR and this week with an equally lovely but older arch. The opinions couldn’t be further apart, though there was some agreement on conference attendance. 🏺
