Great to see this out - in this article I elaborate on passive and active academic facilitation of #illicittrade in cultural objects, taking Mary Slusser and Emma Bunker as examples #returnthegods @saa-aap.bsky.social‬ @thesccjr.bsky.social @uofgsps.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

Check out this absolute UNIT. 12/10 for promoting their human's work in American Antiquity.

CANNOT believe I am at #SAA2025 and missed this.

🙌Advances is stepping it up in the world of research transparency in publishing! We already offered digital badges for open data practices, but we now have an Associate Editor for Reproducibility, @benmarwick.bsky.social (omg, thank you Ben for this!)

OK I was wrong, *this* is how you do a graphical Abstract.

Touché, lower Manhattan.

This is how you do a graphical Abstract.

Rarely is the question asked: is our children learning?

1. Some sort of foreign service I believe 2. International Relations 3. … followed by History, Industrial Archaeology, and finally Egyptology (also switched schools twice 🫠) 4. Academic Publisher!

Of all the things I've seen Google AI recommend doing, this is by far the worst.

Just finished the best mystery I’ve read in years only to mosey on over here and find out that I somehow already follow author @bschillace.brandyschillace.com ? Except that also somehow makes perfect sense. #gratuitouscat

Super interesting new study on archaeology + social media: 🏺 "This shows that negative emotions and misinformation do not have an inherent advantage in social media diffusion. The success of archaeological information depends on the broader subject or the target community"

Read about Chance Ward's work on thoughtful care for culturally significant animal remains in @science.org. The paper will be out later this month in Advances in Archaeological Practice @saa-aap.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti... #archaeology #aap

At my previous job I handled ILL processing. ILL Communication, if you wish. I *loved* it. “Thank you, public library in Kearney, Nebraska! Thank you, NYU law library!”

And this is why I keep a William stuffie on my desk.

The @newyorker.com really up in my business this morning.

Advances in Archaeological Practice becomes a Gold OA journal in 2025. So, that's now!! Thanks to @cambridgeuparchaeo.bsky.social for their work and innovations to make this possible for us. Happy new year of reading!

African studies folks! We’re in Chicago today, setting up our booth all ready for tomorrow’s African studies meeting

Even though MESA is virtual this year, Cambridge University Press is still offering a conference discount, see here for details: www.cambridge.org/gb/academic/...

Could CUP please start a bsky account so I can approve at them VERY loudly?

Obsessed with Emily Wilson saying that for most of the Iliad, Achilles' job was beach

Did my regular check at the WH Smith in Heathrow to see if @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com had been through and done some sneaky signing — no dice — but I did enjoy their interpretation of ‘A-Z by Author’.

👌 @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social

It me

open access! link takes you to a single page with all six short pieces and Hollerich's response! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

“In western archaeological narratives … the transition to farming is often regarded as fundamental to socio-political, economic and ideological ‘complexity’ … In this article, we deliberately avoid the term ‘(social) complexity’” New, open access, and on 🔥 from Antiquity.

A brilliant piece by @paulbloomatyale.bsky.social on morality and AI. Not so surprising, maybe, that Grok has turned out so pleasantly ethical in its recent responses 😊

Could we possibly come up with something less passive aggressive than “That password is incorrect”?

Truly cannot wait to get back to American coffee.

Thanks so much to everyone who has followed us here already! Please spread the word ... we'd love to hit the 100-follower mark before the week is over!

Cambridge is serious business.

Found today at Heffers in Cambridge — should I interpret the fact that it was *not* printed by CUP to mean that it contains scandalous anecdotes (one can hope)??

There are books… and then there are BOOKS.

What I especially love about this is that during my entire time at the ex-Oriental Institute, in the early 2000s, I never used a single e-resource. As soon as our Middle Egyptian hw was assigned we'd all run to the library to grab the one extant copy of a translation from like 1890 and hide it.

It’s finally happening!! Cambridge’s newest journal, Public Humanities, is an open access journal at the intersection of humanities scholarship and public life. Submissions are now open for its inaugural Manifesto Issue, edited by journal co-founders Zoe Hope Bulaitis and Jeffrey R. Wilson.
