Hey @lner.co.uk I’m super disappointed with your management! Did you not realise that packing 2 trains into one would be chaos?? My 17:30 train today was cancelled and now I’m travelling from London Kings X to Edinburgh standing with 2 kids + luggage. I paid for my tickets and reserved seats

Out of Office It’s been a messy year and even crazier 2 last months but somehow I managed to get everything on my (stupidly extensive) list done. Looks like I survived and I’m now on my way to London for some days with the family. See you next year and fingers crossed it will be a quieter one!

Thank you @tag2025york.bsky.social team! It was great to be back! My favourite part is always seeing old friends and colleagues and meeting new people! Here’s to an excellent conference thought down to the small details!

Now Mazen Iwaisi, “Gaza in the Museum: subject, materiality & memory,” mentions this exhibition “This is not an Exhibition” palmuseum.org/en/exhibitio...

Most of us experience the death of loved ones several times throughout our lives. But it's always strange to look at someone's photo and think that their smile no longer exists, it won't ever happen again... it will just remain fixed and static on that photo...

If you're citing papers with hundreds of authors, let's say Olalde et al. 2018, would you write ALL names or just say "Olalde et al.", especially if you have a limited word count?

So @tag2025york.bsky.social is fast approaching. Who's going to this? @boothicus.bsky.social will I find you on the dance floor?

Can we please STOP saying that Atlantic Rock Art is a Bronze Age thing? Please, please, please, please!!! There's so much research which has debunked this idea. Please look at the research before writing about it!

My dear hubby and @leivers.bsky.social have just published this book, which I'm sure is of interest to many of you. Also, free to download! Happy Christmas! ☺️

📕 What #book recommendations do you have for 7/8 year olds? Thank you! ☺️🙏

Wow!!!

When your computer stops responding and freezes every time you try to do something, it's probably telling you to call it a day?

'Suturing Wounds' features self-portraits of artist Sara Sallam wearing a tunic made of torn Egyptian textile fragments, bearing witness to the C19th practice of excavating Byzantine-era cemeteries, tearing garments from the dead to satisfy the growing demands of Western museums. bit.ly/3L6QX0n

I just need to get through the end of this week, i.e. Sunday, and then I can start breathing again... 😓

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it: A 6–8% hit to GDP That's £180bn-£240bn a year It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything. Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

Last day of the year waking up at 4:30! 🥳

@sigurros.com makes me feel so many feelings, sometimes I can hardly deal with them all! 💙

Some archaeological finds may appear unremarkable and ordinary, yet they often are more interesting than any treasure, such as this Roman glass square bottle remarkably containing a rare find – preserved ointment. The waxy mass of fatty acids and glycerine contains plant fibres from...🧵1/3 📷 me 🏺

Do you have recommendations for a VR headset? Do not need anything too expensive, thanks!

Go Scotland!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🥳🥳

Someone saw me today and said "Welcome back. Did you have a good summer?" I've actually seen this person more than once in the last couple of months and even said Hello. I guess this is what invisibility means? They don't see you even when they see you...

My favourite conference! So glad to be going this year!!

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

"I've never sold a single item & I've found thousands of coins." 'he keeps his finds carefully arranged in a display cabinet at his home.' ...that's just one #detectorist. Multiply that by perhaps 40,000 people - that's an awful lot of artefacts. #Archaeology 🏺 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ok... I'm sorry to say this as I can image a lot of work went into it.... but Trove it a big problem.... 🙄

Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I forgot to book for this!!! 😭😭😭 @socantscot.bsky.social will this be available online later?

This is cool

Turns out ChatGPT may have a sense of humour... This is what I got after agreeing to download a list it prepared for me

Exactly…

I remember using these…

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I really dislike the epithet "Sacred" for a prehistoric context. I very often see people referring to "Sacred Mountains" and I think this narrows the way we think about these places, and may be completely wrong... or right! But definitely limiting...

Where are you all staying for @tag2025york.bsky.social ? Any suggestions?

I’ve had this before! Just another day in a woman’s life…

Some days everything goes wrong, regardless of which way you look at it. You just have to go with it… today is one of those days 🥴

The first scientific evidence corroborating the medieval presence of the "Black Death" in Edinburgh has been identified in DNA present in the plaque on the teeth of a skeleton unearthed during archaeological excavations under St Giles Cathedral in 1981. Story here 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ok… finally had a bug catching up with me! 🤕🤧

Bold, beautiful, emotional! 💜

A great post from @tessmachling.bsky.social setting out the scale of the UK metal detecting mess. Having no effective regulatory framework is incredible for a signatory of the Valletta Convention. There is no escaping the negligent leadership on the issue. License metal detecting now. 🏺🦣

How is it that one day one feels great and as if achieving something, and the next day feel like a failure?

When at the end of your class a student tells you how much they enjoyed it, it makes waking up at 4:45 worth it!

Just binge watched Riot Women on BBC iPlayer

The travesty of dementia, when a mother doesn’t recognise their children, her hearts that have beating outside of her all her life

I think the Green Party is calling…

Life in the UK Test should include questions like "Who is Sooty and Sweep" and "What is Art Attack?"

It's the 4th e-mail I receive in the last 2 weeks about a service that I use/used being hacked and data compromised... What on earth is happening??
