Mind. Blown. Thanks for sharing! The more you know…

Big announcement! I’m excited to embark on a tour of America-land with National Geographic Live: A Pirate’s Life. Join me as we dive into the world of pirates from the ancient Mediterranean to the Golden Age of piracy in the Caribbean! live.nationalgeographic.org/event/pirate...

Preach! I’m not sure I’ve ever agreed with a post more…or did AI write my response…hmmmm Can there be an AI-free setting for all tech?!?

Shameless promotion from #isba11 - I'll be hiring PhDs to start early 2026 (plus postdocs starting later), using #adna to study livestock and pathogen coevolution, particularly looking at inbreeding and immune gene evolution! Contact me at kevin[at]palaeome.org, full ad to come. Please share!

Cheers to a wonderful ISBA! @isba11.bsky.social @isbarchaeology.bsky.social Grazie mille to the organisers, to the ISBA board, and all the wonderful presenters! @matthewcollins.bsky.social @gregerlarson.bsky.social Turin was an absolute blast!

Some of my favourite scientists! 🧬⚗️🔬🧪🥼🏺we are all so passionate about archaeological science and the ISBA conference allows us to come together, dig your the past and @matthewcollins.bsky.social @christinawarinner.bsky.social @gregerlarson.bsky.social

Well done, Denmark! 🇩🇰 📚📖🎓

Finally visited the Riace Bronzes and they are incredible! Found underwater off the Calabrian coast, the discovery of these 5th century BCE statues is still mired in controversy. Many believe the site was looted before eventually being reported, with additional statues lost to the black market. 😔🏺🏛️

Congratulations @jaadekker.bsky.social @jessiehendy.bsky.social @matthewcollins.bsky.social can’t wait to read this paper! A reminder to leave your dishes dirty for future archaeologists!

Watching the #oscars Jeff Goldblum seems like he would be great in the pub. Who at the Oscars would you like to share a pint with most?

Tina, you are such a badass! Keep up your important research xxx

Roman column in York, one of the loveliest cities in the UK and a place with a fascinating history. Founded as Eboracum in 71 CE, what began as a Roman fort town has seen many transformations since then. 🏺🏛️📜

Stunning sunsets in Cape Cod! I’m hoping to explore the shipwrecks of the cape someday, and just avoid the great white sharks!!!

Getting overly excited about the Golden Globes, huge winter storm on the way to the east coast, hunker down, watch some glamorous outfits from somewhere it looks warm….

Happy New Year everyone! I’ll start it as I intend to carry on, by sharing archaeological stuff! Here is one for the dendro folks among you- get involved with this call for a special issue! 🏺🪵🔬

Big news in the world of archaeological science! Congratulations to the authors of what looks like a fascinating study! 🏺🦴🐻🦣

you know who should be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame? Sisyphus

Very interesting exhibit at the British Library - A Silk Road Oasis: Life in Ancient Dunhuang - which features scrolls and manuscripts from the so-called Library Cave at Mogao. Also a hemp shoe! The original Toms shoe from 1000 years ago! 🏺📜

Not all mosaics are created equal. Levels of skill in the ancient world varied greatly. Rich Roman homeowners sought out skilled artists to make mosaics for their villa, while others, well, were stuck with what they could afford. That said, anyone who could afford mosaics were quite privileged! 🏺

I just adore this ad for the archaeological science department at Bradford! So good. 🏺🔬🦴🌾🧬

Great thread from @petercampbell.bsky.social - a healthy dose of skepticism makes the field stronger! Is this truly a new script discovered in Georgia? Or something else? Thanks for sharing!

Amazing.

Thank you @libradunn1.bsky.social for sharing this. We stand with you!

Artefact of the day! Statue of older Dionysus, Museum of Centrale montemartini, Rome.

RIP Professor Lord Colin Renfrew. I am blessed to have engaged in some discussions with this wonderful man while at Cambridge about olives in the ancient Mediterranean. He had so much time for students and new ideas. Sending thoughts and condolences to his family. 🏺 www.cam.ac.uk/news/profess...

Honoured to have been part of this wonderful project! Thanks @petercampbell.bsky.social for organising this! Rivers are fascinating formations and hold so much history in their ever-changing waters. 🏺🏛️

Here is a wonderful archaeologist for you all to follow, add to starter packs, and appreciate!

Hello Bluesky! Migrating over from the dreaded X! Looking forward to connecting with you all. To get started, here is a photo of six badass female underwater archaeologists finishing up a race on a historic boat in Croatia.
