The Knowth Macehead • c.3300-2800 BC It has been described as one of the greatest surviving artworks from Neolithic Europe. All six sides of the flint macehead are delicately decorated. From this view, it appears like a human face, with the hole for the shaft as a mouth. #Ireland #SpéirGhorm

Great series of photographs from a 1911 zoology paper in which various types of flounder are put through their paces as regards camouflage ability, placed against bold and striking patterns (more than they’d experience in nature) — publicdomainreview.org/collection/f...

Thrilled that this woodpecker has become a daily visitor.

Me too box, me too.

Thrilled that this woodpecker has become a daily visitor.

Incredible, and possibly just what I need to spice up presenting otherwise bland visibility analyses. Anyone have any idea how this could be approached using GIS data? Some kind of Blender witchery? A weird projection? #gis #gischat

Successfully refoamed a rather well-travelled pair of Beovox CX50s. Easy job compared to other speakers I've done because I didn't have to cut the dust cap to centre the cone with shims or similar palavers. They sound incredible.

Every time I see this bit in the national DTM I think it's some kind of weird z value error. It's real- it's a former open cast extraction pit. #lidar #gis #remotesensing

irish government to require all pedestrians and cyclists to dress like this so that drivers will maybe look at them

I trust you, but your AI agent is a snitch: Why we need a new social contract. We’re chatting on Signal, enjoying encryption, right? But your DIY productivity agent is piping the whole thing back to Anthropic. Friend, you just created a permanent subpoena-able record of my private thoughts...1/

"New vice consultant" is a hell of a job title.

Show me any WebGIS/Webmapping feature that didn't exist 20 years ago. Some days it feels like everything new is just new because it was written in a different framework. (Except for 3D stuff.)

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

The much needed Fraggle Rock and Alasdair Gray connection we've all needed.

Check out my new app for quantifying multiple archaeological wealth proxies and inequality! Also calculates "exclusivity" of grave goods/features, category bias, and gives dynamic overviews of all stored atlas results, and you can add your own results! quantwealth.eu Paper: osf.io/preprints/so...

Archaeology is political. Heritage is political. The past is political.

The Simple Sabotage Field Manual (1944) invents Sharepoint.

My new paper with @bijanrouhani.bsky.social and @kristen-hopper.bsky.social explores a probable Persian Garden complex identified on a set of 1941 RAF aerial photographs taken over #Tabriz #Iran. This vast complex had not been previously documented and was built over by urban sprawl in the 1990s.

I now feel very deprived that we did not have these in the UK. .... But we did have a UFO shaped McDonalds

A scientist can pretend that his work isn't himself, it's merely the impersonal truth. An artist can't hide behind the truth. He can't hide anywhere.

Interview with my dear colleague Daniel Berger about our latest #article on metal #provenance studies of Sardinian #Bronzeage figurines. 🧪🏺

In case we thought that ecological disasters were a special talent of modernity, let’s talk about how the 13th-century peat trade of Norfolk made it permanently vulnerable to flooding, including 3 catastrophic floods just since 2013. #medievalstorytime

Is it about time that someone told @wiltshiremuseum.bsky.social that their "Tourmaline stone axe" is actually made of cheese?

Too cold in the shed. Wheel building is fun and kinda relaxing.

Really worth a read. An important issue but also admire the authors dedication to their acronym throughout, including the colour choices on their charts!

The 19th century Struve Geodetic Arc is, to me, one of the most extraordinary properties on the World Heritage List. It crosses 10 countries and was used to determine the size and shape of the world. 🧪 🏺 #ContemporaryArchaeology
