Last week we had the honor of organising @chatarchaeology.bsky.social in Bilbao. Thanks @sergioescribanor.bsky.social for such an amazing outcome, and everybody for attending. Enjoyed it a lot :) Also thanks to our donors!

Qué bonito el paisaje y la arqueología de Gran Canaria… aquí en la necrópolis de Arteara.

Anoche tuvo lugar en la librería Espirafocs la última presentación del libro de A. César González García «Cielos de piedra». Gracias a todas las personas que os acercasteis a conocerlo.

Calatrava tiene sus cosas, pero hay que reconocer que las formas son estéticamente bellas…

Un agricultor arrasa por completo las ruinas del castillo de la Torre Mocha en Salamanca, Bien de Interés Cultural ileon.eldiario.es/1_c277b0?utm... Inconcebible. Sin palabras.

The ISS Archaeological Project studied the phenomenon of crew-created visual displays in two articles (both open access): www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... and www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/11...

Hoy me apetecía compartir esto… porque se vienen cositas XD youtu.be/g8ktaUYjQNQ?...

Lejos de esconderse, Böcker, la empresa familiar alemana que fabrica la escalera usada por los ladrones del Louvre, ha lanzado una ingeniosa campaña publicitaria: “Cuando necesitas moverte rápido”

Hoy tenemos una noticia importante para la arqueología… otro pequeño paso en la mejora del estado de la arqueología española con la aprobación del Plan Nacional de Arqueología. No es perfecto, no es vinculante, pero es algo que nos coloca un poco mejor en el mapa ipce.cultura.gob.es/noticias/202...

¿Qué mente lúcida del marketing considera que, si me doy de baja de un servicio, acosarme a correos sin ni siquiera ofrecer un descuento va a hacer que vuelva? En todo caso me está dando ganas de eliminar del todo mi cuenta.

Hacía más de 20 años que no venía a un partido… y ganando se disfruta más :)

Blue Monday :(

Las telenovelas y series turcas están conquistando el mundo audiovisual. Pero su influencia va mucho más allá de la pantalla.

Hoy pudimos presentar el libro «Conexiones Mediterráneas» en el MAN y fue una tarde extraordinaria… compromiso para sacar adelante la Escuela de Atenas :)

Today has been a very happy day as my PhD student Jesús earned his degree at the University of Amsterdam. So proud of him :)

Este jueves a las 18:00 tenemos una cita en el MAN para presentar el libro «Conexiones mediterráneas» y resaltar el excelente trabajo que hacemos desde España en el país heleno. ¡No te lo pierdas!

Maybe today is a day to remember for the history of European archaeology, with the signature of Madrid Manifesto, the first step of what will hopefully become a federation of European professional associations… now it is time to carry on working :)

He sido testigo de un hecho histórico. #LaPEPA

“This Oxfordshire hoard, buried nearly 2,000 years ago, really belongs to all of Oxfordshire residents.' Angie Bolton, curator of archaeology, Oxfordshire museum service But the sad fact is, under current legislation, Treasure Hoards can be sold for private profit, broken up and never seen again.

De vuelta en Madrid, estos días están siendo la culminación de meses (y años) de trabajo que esperamos ayuden a seguir mejorando la profesión. Mañana cerramos con la firma de un manifiesto por la arqueología profesional y la semilla de una plataforma europea que nos ayude a trabajar juntas.

So, today woke up at 4am to attend a meeting in Brussels for an exciting new project. Won’t be home before 2am tonight… so tired. But ‘sarna con gusto no pica’

Con tanto lío se me olvidó compartir este hallazgo sorprendente en medio de Cantabria. El Partenón de Las Fraguas, iglesia de San Jorge. Al lado, por cierto de un palacio bien chulo. Pasé el otro día y no me lo esperaba para nada.

Agárrame el cubata!

“The big perspective change from ancient DNA study is that people living today are almost never the descendants of the people in the same place thousands of years before” news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

En medio de la tormenta de noticias malas que nos llegan de ese régimen autoritario todos los días, esta me ha llamado especialmente la atención hoy. Miedito lo que se viene.

Thank you to everyone who has read and shared our story about the allegations the President of the #EAA supported a campaign pressuring the Executive Board to reverse its Gaza vote. There is now a #WatchingBrief video with a discussion putting the story in context. Please Like Share and Subscribe.

This piece of news about the @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social mess of the last weeks is very very very serious. If you did not sign the campaign we are moving to try change things at the EAA yet, maybe this helps to decide… here is the link: ee-eu.kobotoolbox.org/x/QInTdoHZ The news ⬇️

Targeting archaeological heritage is a war crime and a significant facet of genocide. It is a clear attempt to deny Palestinian identity and right to their deep connections to place. Solidarity to those in the ground trying to protect Palestinian heritage.

FAO #EAA French Gov, #UNESCO & the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem intervene to negotiate a brief pause as archaeologists from the French Biblical Archaeological School of Jerusalem (EBAF) forced to evacuate its Gaza store after warning from the IDF that the building housing it had been targeted.

Al intentar borrar el Banksy han creado un ícono todavía más potente visualmente. Han hecho pleno.

To all our EAA colleagues: our petition is back up and running. If you already signed the previous form, your response is saved and you do not need to resubmit. If you haven’t signed yet, use this link: ee-eu.kobotoolbox.org/x/QInTdoHZ Spread the word!

Ok, 3rd time's the charm, eh? Google took down original #EAA meeting petition due to complaints & 2nd went same way. Old signatures have been saved, but if you've ever been a member of EAA & haven't filled this out yet, then please do. #Archaeology 🏺 #EAA2025 ee-eu.kobotoolbox.org/x/QInTdoHZ

Google has decided to close the form because 'it violates its terms of service' (i.e somebody who is not too much into internal democracy has reported it). BUT all the signatures are saved AND a new form will be up and running soon!

For months I was recording tags in Athens and beyond. Found Rosa in different cities. Used her as an example to teach archaeology through graffiti. Even got a bit obsessed… And today, for the first time, found her in Greek characters… some years later. I’m so excited… ☺️

Any help sharing this much appreciated! ✊🏼 @archagainstaparth.bsky.social @a-rfa.bsky.social @blacktrowel.bsky.social @watchingbrief.bsky.social

Calling all #EAA past and present members! A lot of us are not happy with the events of last week, and with EAA's bleak attitute towards the ongoing genocide. Sign this petition for a special meeting, so we can call a vote of confidence against the current board. Thanks! forms.gle/cTp7BXiUD1qC...

Calling all #EAA past and present members! Let's try to redress the horrid events of the past week, democratise this institution, and stop the complicity with the ongoing genocide. Please sign and share!

Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez has announced a series of measures to apply pressure on Israel to end the genocide in Gaza, including a law to enforce Spain’s arms embargo and additional restrictions on aircraft and shipping.

TVE ha eliminado sus dos programas de ciencia. No es lo que debería hacer una televisión pública. Bajo ningún concepto.

Segunda vez que veo un eclipse de luna roja, segunda vez que lo veo desde Atenas :)
