A group of current and past EAA members and action groups are calling for a (first) Counter Conference open online meeting for all of you to join to get information, voice your concerns and discuss next steps (date TBA).

Tired of excuses and obfuscation from the EAA Executive? Want a collegial and supportive society fit for its members? Then #boycottEAA Read our call for voting and boycotting below! If you want a detailed description of the events so far please read: drive.google.com/file/d/1jdGO...

We (MOLA) can host these brilliant Fellowships so do think of us if you have an idea that you want to explore for 2 years. Feel free to email me for a chat. #Archaeology ⚱️

EAA is finished. Time for a new organisation.

Got a citation alert for this very interesting new paper! The authors focus on Atapuerca, but more broadly it includes some informative discussions on archaeology and media that will be of interest to those interested in public archaeological communication. 🏺

Back home after @tag2025york.bsky.social. A good conference; great sessions, spot-on keynotes, and really well organised. Was great to meet old friends and make new connections.

TAG York: Very interesting session today on archaeology and neoliberalism, led by @haraldfred.bsky.social @drsadiewatson.bsky.social @rachelking.bsky.social and Pippa Postgate. As @guillermodiazliano.bsky.social noted, neoliberalism is the dominant paradigm in archaeology. Lots to think about!

Join us #TAG2025 Session 7 in LMV/036X for Archaeologies in and of Neoliberalism: Is Professionalisation a Barrier to Participation? 12.30 on Monday. @drsadiewatson.bsky.social and I reflect on development-led archaeology and museums & I'll be sharing participatorymuseums.wordpress.com/the-report/

Perfidious Albion in practice: first we come for your beloved XXL sports shop, then take control over your frigates, and so the coup de grâce impose our climate on you!

I am going to submit this as my comments to my work's new AI guidelines. Looking forward to all the light and whimsical archaeology reports coming in the next few years.

And today I learned that in 1962 the BBC let Jaquetta Hawkes imagine the archaeology of apocalyptic Britain. As a short film 👀10/10 Will weird your day youtu.be/c8yEIe69M4k?...

I recommend this! I am enjoying my tour of America's East Coast, and am amazed at the children who are really alert and interested so early in the morning. Next stop Virginia! 🏺

Went to listen to Anders Högberg talk about heritage futures at Riksantikvaren. It was a bit of a shock to realize how little of this research and modern thoughts about heritage have filtered down to the decision-making level. Concerning given a new heritage law is being written.

Life as an immigrant in the UK

We are very sad to hear the news of Mike Corbishley's passing. Mike was a long-time supporter of the CBA and co-founder of YAC. We’ll be celebrating Mike’s life and contributions in an upcoming issue of British Archaeology. Here he is in 1986, celebrating the conclusion of a Wroxeter excavation

I am doing this next week! Talking to a school in Queens, New York - will try not to mention the Mets! 🏺⚾

As someone who is about to be affected by the new ILR rules, I took little comfort from the PM's speech yesterday. I can't speak for everyone affected but I certainly feel the message of these rules is that no one from other countries is welcome here and will only be accepted begrudgingly

Maybe my MP @labourlewis.bsky.social could ask his right honourable friend why it is easier for my family of 2 British citizens and 1 Norwegian to settle in Ireland than in the UK? All this nonsense about decency and values from the Starmer government is hollow talk.

Is there no-one in Labour who knows an immigrant (or emigrant)? The existing rules are terrible, these plans are just horrendous. Is there no-one close to the leadership who thinks immigrants having to pay taxes + NHS surcharge + fees + no access to any benefits is already outrageous?

De har heller ikke noe særlig dybdekunnskap om Storbritannia eller USA, for å bedre kunne forstå den lokale konteksten før oversettelsen til norsk.

Det var flaut å se Espen Aas som London-korrespondent, veldig overfladisk og "dette leste jeg i avisa" framfor kunnskap, funfacts-basert anglofil, så det overrasker meg ikke at det mangler kritisk tenkning om Kirk etc nå. Var akkurat det samme med Boris, Corbyn, Brexit etc.

Welp here we are again, fresh out of Archaeologists for Skype a Scientist matches. This fall, we have matched 248 groups with Archaeologists for online Q&As. I have 38 more groups who need a match, but I'm out of Archaeologists! Archaeologists! Please volunteer www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html

Veldig trist hva disse grundere må gjøre for å betale formuesskatt.

The President of @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social , Professor Eszter Banffy, has lost credibility and should resign. Not only did she play an instrumental role in the reversal of the board's vote to cut institutional ties w 🇮🇱... 1/

-Forslaget er et elendig grunnlag for bystyret å fatte beslutninger på. Dette er nemlig ikke en skolebehovsplan. Det er en spareplan. Og etaten aner ikke hva konsekvensene blir, fordi de ikke har utredet dem. Bevar Abildsø skole - hjertet i nærmiljøet ❤️ www.ao.no/skolebehovsp...

I just published my article Archaeology as Worldbuilding, an effort that grows out of 20+ years of digital (and analog) archaeological making. Adjacent to recent arguments about storytelling, I broaden our scope to make past worlds & tell stories in community with others. doi.org/10.1017/S095...

Anbefaler alle å lese Max Liboiron om plast, spesielt Pollution is Colonialism. Plast er farlig avfall og må begrenses.

Her er den opprinnelige og faglige baserte skolebehovsplanen til Utdanningsetaten i Oslo fra april 2024, som omsider er offentliggjort etter krav fra opposisjonen, etter at byrådet nektet pressen innsyn. Her foreslås det ikke å legge ned eller skrote en eneste skole drive.google.com/file/d/1YNmA...

Another day, another #MetalDetecting misunderstanding 🙄 The swords were ‘found’ by a detectorist, site was much later excavated by a team funded by HE (us, tax payers!) and it was all great yes, but not at all as reported here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

#skolebehovsplan I oppdragsbestillingen fra byrådet, står det en oppfordring til å bruke KI i behandling av høringssvar. Dette er alvorlig - er det de faktiske innspill som er grunnlaget for revidert plan, eller noe KI søppel? Viktig for lokaldemokrati! @sirins.bsky.social @finnanger.bsky.social

I, and several others, have written an open letter to the UK's largest archaeological organisations requesting they take a stand and publicly affirm their support for the trans community. This open letter was signed by over 700 archaeologists before it was sent today. Read it in full below 👇
