Happy 181st birthday to "The Raven", Edgar Allen Poe's mannered, gothic, archaising poem of grief, madness and anthropomorphic avians, first published in the New York Evening Mirror #onthisday in 1845.

Join us for this talk on 3D modelling and visualisation in archaeology and heritage. I’ll be mumbling about the theoretical underpinnings and Katrine will talk about super cool 3D modelling projects she’s working on :) Thank you Gabby @palaeofuturist.bsky.social for the invite!

Digital Classicist Wiki editing session: Mediterranean antiquity themed content (including ancient societies and cultures adjacent to the Greco-Roman world). Today at 15:00 GMT. Please sign up at ics.sas.ac.uk/news-events/... for the link.

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...

Further to the EAA saga and the actions of its leadership...Zena is the editor of the Association's journal, and we now how much hard and unappreciated work that entails. She was attacked in the meeting of 9.1.206, and yet the people in charge seem to want to withhold the evidence. Enough is enough.

In a week’s time I’ll be on site in Al Ain, UAE, working on the Muʿtariḍ Archaeology Project. It’s a cracking team, and we are excavating a big Bronze Age Umm an Nar tomb. I’ll probably post on TikTok but in the meantime, updates on Instagram: www.instagram.com/mutaridarcha... 🏺

So, if you are an @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social (EAA) member from 2025-2026, you received yesterday your email for the per-rollam vote of the past Special Meeting and the documentation attached to it… if you still doubt what to vote, please read all the documents. My short digest:

Yesterday I resigned from the EAA Appeals & Anti-Harassment Committee (AAHC) after I was targetted in what I believe was an attempt to disprupt & undermine the AAHC. Be assured, AAHC are v much committed to making EAA a safe space, despite the restrictions imposed on them by the existing statutes. 🏺

Following yesterday's EAA Special Meeting, I have submitted a complaint to the EAA Appeal and Anti-Harassment Committee. I post it here, with names redacted, for any members who were not present. Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out with messages of solidarity and support 🙏💓🙏

🚨Urgent‼️ The EAA has doxxed members who have been working to reestablish justice, democracy and accountability in the association. This is a chilling move. We must take action. ALL EAA MEMBERS OUT FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING THIS FRIDAY JAN 9TH! #EAAforDemocracy

Plea to stop using prehistoric monuments & peoples as a sub for present-day national identities. Past peoples are not ‘ancestors’, they had no idea of the concept of a nation-state & this archipelago has seen a lot of traffic since the last ice age

Popped over to the tremendous @owenexiehurcum.bsky.social’s session for their presentation which is whip-smart, well argued and fun. 🤩

So happy my research is out! I’ve developed a methodology for archaeologists to evaluate the impact of digital storytelling on public understanding of the past, using three different media to assess which is most effective for knowledge dissemination. www.barpublishing.com/book/creatin...
