—Ya ves, les pegaron fuego y los quitaron con excavadoras y cohetes de limpieza. ¡Si se enteraban de que va ja ja tipo enterrado en un prado, lo sacaban! Evacuarlos, eso hicieron. A mi me parece una crueldad. La columna de fuego, Ray Bradbury

En 2016, se publicó 'Vergüenza ajena', mi primera novela. La editorial fue muy cutre con la edición, pero entonces yo solo quería que se publicara. Ahora, 10 años después de aquello, va a tener la edición que se merece gracias a @jaimealmansa.bsky.social y @jasarqueologia.bsky.social.

It is with deep sadness that Dr Marianne Moen and I resigned our positions as Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Archaeology this morning. What follows is the letter we sent to the EAA's executive board, outlining the reasons for our resignation 1/n

Me ha hecho mucha ilusión montar un par de plumas en el evento DIY de Kaweco en la papelería Debod, de Madrid :)

Leyendo sobre la crisis de vivienda, me vuelve a la cabeza el ‘white flight’, que tenía mucho de racismo y mucho de clase, sobre todo en ciudades menos multiculturales. Hoy con el incremento de los pisos turísticos y la saturación de centros y periferias -> 🧵

It's been over a month since the results of this member vote came in and we've yet to have a substantive response. I've signed this letter looking for a proper, respectful response and attempting to reposition the members at the heart of the eaa ee-eu.kobotoolbox.org/x/xZZjy6le

History without historians is doomed to fail. With an interdisciplinary team of scholars we show how the purported link between late Roman conflicts and drought has been misunderstood. We also outline a path forward in the use of sources in paleoclimatic research. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Today I buried three pieces of pottery to begin with the second phase of ‘Humedad’ proof of concept. If the results are good… will have a win for this year :) #stoplooting @cretus.usc.gal @ecopast.bsky.social @pollutedpast-erc.bsky.social #nemesis

The UK & EU abstained from the #UN non-binding (!) resolution on recognising the trafficking of enslaved Africans as the "gravest crime against humanity”. As if this had nothing to do w/ their #colonial and enslaving history & legacies. The US, Israel and Argentina even voted against it! #slavery

Y lo que parece oportunidad se vuelve asfixia y ahoga en su exceso. Porque ningún trabajador puede vivir en un estado de evaluación permanente. Zafra. «El informe»

El palacio de Golestán en Teherán, Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO, ha sido dañado por los ataques. Recordatorio: atacar, dañar o destruir patrimonio cultural es un crimen de guerra. Se hizo en Ucrania. Se hizo en Gaza. Ahora le toca a Irán.

How did Spanish colonialism affect agriculture in Peru? Archaeological evidence suggests it deintensified, with elaborate Inka farming infrastructure declining as private ownership prioritised land use for profit over communal subsistence. 🔗 from 2025 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

The Digital “Kidnapping” of the Marbles The British scientists from the Institute of Digital Archaeology, created their application to achieve this (only not in the real world - yet) by “marrying” virtual reality with geotagging technology. www.tovima.com/stories/the-...

¿Puede el Museo Británico caer más bajo? Siempre encuentran la forma. (Tras ver la noticia de que elimina la palabra «Palestina» de las salas sobre esa región)

With the SEKA now also calling for a boycott of the #EAA 2026 Annual Meeting due to be hosted in Athens, both leading representative bodies for Greek archaeologists are squarely in the camp opposing the apparent business as usual drive of the EAA's senior management.

More surprised at people who are not anarchists these days tbh

🧪🏺 Update - authors have new paper showing how useless gen- #AI is for archaeological illustration. All 400 images were multiply inaccurate (physically, socially, technologically, environmentally), even with improved prompts. JUST USE HUMAN EXPERTS & ARTISTS www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Musk talks about ancient aliens pseudoarchaeological junk, but it's not his only connection to the world of pseudoarchaeology - his racist and antisemitic grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, spent a lot of time in the 1950s searching for an allegedly grand lost city in the Kahalari desert.
