Sadly this has had to be cancelled due to low ticket sales meaning that it would make a loss and the overall charity effort was going to suffer. But @flintdibble.bsky.social & I still like our performance idea so you might see it in another form at some other future event!

#Archaeology @flintdibble.bsky.social Archaeology with Flint Dibble The Dark Story of the Agora Bone Well from Athens This is the story of the Agora Bone Well, discovered in Athens in 1938. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBy1...

This is a reality check for all of us who may forget that our life and health spans have been achieved only through current medical, and public health, and nutrition advances. The physically perfect individuals depicted in classical sculpture were likely quite rare for their times.

I've found this piece of archaeology fascinating for years, and even brought it up recently while #archaeogaming on my live stream of Hades II (cf Hecate).

The Agora Bone Well is one of the more touching and tragic stories that I've ever heard from an archaeological context It's sad for sure, but also a story about humanity and resilience in the face of hardship www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBy1...

The Dark Mystery of the Agora Bone Well from Athens. Filled with the tiny, fragile skeletons of hundreds of newborn infants, and 150 dogs. Is this evidence of a gruesome ritual or or a plague, famine, or war? Or something else? Full video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBy1...

Premiering in an hour! This is the story of the Agora Bone Well, discovered in Athens in 1938. Filled with the tiny, fragile skeletons of hundreds of newborn infants and 150 dogs. A recent scientific study solved this mystery, so be sure to tune in www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBy1...

#Archaeology Archaeology with Flint Dibble @flintdibble.bsky.social The Bone Zone: Archaeology gets SPOOKY with ‪@Inside_Archaeology‬ A special Halloween stream with Rachel from Inside Archaeology www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJHo...

"Platforms like Twitter (X) offered a vibrant, informal commons: a single, global space where researchers could build reputations, collaborate across borders & participate in real-time scholarly debate ... that clarity has gone. The digital landscape for academics is fragmented, tiring & uncertain."

Watching the annual bone zone stream. Because skeltons are eveywhere. 🤣🎃🦴

Tonight we got a spooky one for you as Rachel from Inside Archaeology for a special Halloween archaeology spooktacular! We will explore the archaeology of bones and rank Halloween bone decorations/costumes Check it out at 8pm UK/4pm EST youtube.com/live/kJHoj3w...

At the midway point, I asked my students to anonymously give feedback to see what's working & improve on what's not I'm very grateful to see that my students enjoy listening to my lectures as much as I enjoy giving them I dig archaeology and so do they

Excited to announce that @flintdibble.bsky.social & I are planning something fun on FEASTING THROUGH TIME for the Dec 9th Cardiff edition of @robinince.bsky.social 's #NineLessons - a festive science variety show, for charity! Book here: www.glee.co.uk/performer/ni...

check this out if you're in Cardiff. It'll be a banger of a time (I'll be presenting at it with @lemoustier.bsky.social if it's still on)

Is this AI? How do you know?

As someone fighting stage 4 cancer, I can assure you that this is stupid advice The new drugs available have turned what used to be terminal illnesses into chronic illnesses with real hope for health and life This advice can kill people

Fake Archaeology is a cult with charismatic leaders & an isolating narrative They repeat "do your own research," thinking YouTube videos by their lying leaders is research They attack non-believers who show real evidence against the lies, creating a closed-minded belief system

UK higher education is in collapse, caused by years of austerity, tuition freezes, and immigration reforms Looks like the new Labour government don't plan to do jack all about it

Lovely comment on my latest YouTube video (a tour through the Villa San Marco outside of Pompeii) The truth will always win out in the end

You can immediately spot a close minded person when they say they won't listen to experts Having a true open mind requires the humility to listen and learn from those with experience you don't have

No man, I've thought on it and it's obvious that the double snakes are a double helix. Secret ancient knowledge. Just humans, not aliens!

Had a great time presenting on Fighting Fake Archaeology at New Scientist Live @newscientist.com! Recorded a podcast with them too, so I'm sure that'll be out at some point

Oh look. You can pay thousands of dollars to listen to people who have never done any archaeology tell lies about archaeology. Such prices show who the real gatekeepers are Grifting 101 with Graham Hancock and friends

What surprising things do archaeologists discover when studying ancient animal bones, ancient Greek rubbish pits and isotope analysis in teeth of ancient Greeks? What was their diet? Listen to @flintdibble.bsky.social passionately explaining with field here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

The amount of evidence for a globe spanning advanced civilization in the Ice Age?

People want to believe they know just as much as experts without putting in any of the real work it takes to become an expert.

The arrogance of people who have never done any more archaeology than be a tourist to think they know more than people with hands-on experience digging and studying artifacts The sheeple are being led by grifters and liars who will say anything provocative for money

I'll be speaking on Saturday at New Scientist Live in London! It's gonna be a banger

By the morals of their times, Slavers were hated by those they enslaved Rapists by those who they raped Murderers by the survivors The morals of the past are the same as today. Assholes are assholes

Y'all covering famous people, and I'm sitting her obsessed with the nameless, voiceless people from our deep past

Great question! There are so many great resources For starters, since you like my content, check out my videos/livestreams with authors (usually the books are on the thumbnail). Then you can decide which you're interested in I'll keep having on authors and promote their work!

This is so sad. St Fagan's is one of my favorite museums ever. Just a phenomenal visit if you're ever in Cardiff www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#Archaeology @flintdibble.bsky.social Archaeology with Flint Dibble Preserved in Ash: The Villa San Marco Near Pompeii An on-site tour of the spectacular Villa San Marco in the town of Stabiae near to Pompeii. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWM4...

NEW VIDEO! A site tour of the Villa San Marco in Stabiae near Pompeii. It is a remarkable site with remarkable preservation due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 youtu.be/DWM4r2iz9Dw

At #BSF25 in Liverpool, we were delighted to welcome ABC The Science Show presenter Robyn Williams for the FIFTIETH time. For Part I of his show, he spoke to @flintdibble.bsky.social, Scouse Scientist Holly Ellis, @ljmuofficial.bsky.social's Keith George & others: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

@duancientaliens.bsky.social @flintdibble.bsky.social @jwhoopes2.bsky.social One of the best answers given to the lost civilizationists.

In a new blog, the BSA's Head of Policy and Public Affairs, Martha Kirby, reflects on the British Science Festival #BSF25 in Liverpool, and on the importance of hands-on science education - for all ages - that engages and inspires: www.britishscienceassociation.org/Blog/reflect...

"Science is bad for tyrants" That's why we have to speak up and shout out knowledge and expertise from the rooftops

Science is under siege

Yes, makes total sense a rabid fan would pay random websites to publish (most likely AI-generated) smear articles instead of...posting for free on social media or abundantly free blog websites. 🙃

"Scientists targeted by dark PR tactics" Good coverage of the coordinated, anonymous attacks that have hit scientists who have been critical of Colossal Biosciences (me included) www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Unfortunately, there is no moral arc to history. History is collectively what we all do, whether right or wrong. The nice thing is that if there's one thing history teaches us, it's that we can all stand up and make a difference

I love these little snapshots into human history. An intimate glimpse of how someone lived tens of thousands of years ago www.zmescience.com/science/arch...

Hey @flintdibble.bsky.social, you Big Archaeologists™️ can't hide the truth forever 😉

just saw a new doc on youtube explain this checkmate poindexter

A casual version of my British Science Festival talk, Truth in the Dirt: Combatting pseudoarchaeology, is now available on Patreon! From Atlantis to pyramid conspiracies, I cover a range of archaeology topics and discuss what we can do about misinfo www.patreon.com/posts/139874...

First the internet, now the world, has been overrun by anti-intellectual liars. How the hell do we fight back? One step at a time. Speak the truth about science and history

I got sucked into a rabbit hole over the weekend, apparently Joe Rogan is also a total idiot when it comes to archeology, and his profound dumbness just blew my mind. I discovered @flintdibble.bsky.social Flint Dibble, tho, and he’s great!

Thanks mighty @learncardiff.bsky.social, so proud of this truly co-created podcast, critically exploring 14 years of university/community partnership working. Lots more about it on my LinkedIn account - find me there! @flintdibble.bsky.social @webstermedieval.bsky.social @ltotelin.bsky.social
