Lessons from an Early Iron Age Mass Grave: An Archaeodeath Perspective on Gomolava howardwilliamsblog.wordpress.com/2026/02/27/l...

Disappointed to see how many colleagues and friends follow neo-Nazi history, archaeology and mythology accounts

I certainly wasn’t expecting this article in the Guardian on the Milan fashion week to have a final section on Sutton Hoo

I very much enjoyed VALHAll:A when i went last year: it's a great event and so important to see academia and living history coming together like that. Thanks for the report on this year's and I look forward to hearing that it'll be running again in 2027!

A very fair and balanced view of this year's VALHAll:A symposium. An event like this, bringing together the academic and non-academic, the field archaeologist and living historian, all at different levels of interest and engagement, is a complex thing. I've been hugely impressed with it each year.

@simelius.bsky.social This is for you 😁

Huge congratulations to @archaeodeathprof.bsky.social on this news! It's richly deserved and I'm sure Howard's insights and enthusiasm will take the journal to new heights. Meanwhile, if you're curious about what archaeologists get up to check out archaeodeath on any number of platforms 👇

Exciting news! I'm the incoming Executive Editor for 'World Archaeology' and here is my first CfP! Call for Papers for ‘World Archaeology’: Debates and Emerging Issues in Archaeology howardwilliamsblog.wordpress.com/2026/02/14/c... Direct link here: think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issu...

🚨 We have heard that the County Archaeologist for Hampshire is being made redundant, with no plans to replace him. 🚨 If you live in Hampshire please write to your MP and Councillors. If you live elsewhere treasure and support your County Archaeologists, and stand by to protect them. 🏺

Just wonderful

THIS IS WHAT A UNION LOOKS LIKE. THIS IS WHAT SOLIDARITY LOOKS LIKE. THIS IS WHAT STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT LOOKS LIKE. IGNORE AT YOUR PERIL!

Here's a clearer version:

And just a quick reminder for everyone boycotting the EAA that this doesn’t have to mean not presenting your research. Get in touch with us if you would like to host / help build an alternative space! We don’t have to wait for big subject orgs to get it, we can build alternatives. #boycottEAA

The European Association of Archaeologists Executive has worked hard to bury this result inside a long document. But we're going to make this triumph of compassion, common sense & demand for transparency known to all. Help us by sharing. @archagainstaparth.bsky.social @blacktrowel.bsky.social

🚨EAA per rollam vote results🚨 For anyone who doesn't want to trawl through a long document to find the results, I've compiled them here. Well done to everyone who voted for demonstrating strongly and clearly that change is needed 👏🏼👏🏼

Association of Archaeologists in Greece withdraws from EAA conference 2026 in Athens Difficult to see how international archaeologists can now attend given such opposition

The Association of Archaeologists in Greece, representing all the archaeologists with permanent contracts in the state sector, is withdrawing its participation in the organizing of the @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social conference in Athens..Open letter, in English, below. archaeol.gr/anoichti-epi...

Very clear from Greek archaeology here. International archaeologists - cancel your summer jolly and step up to a basic ethical stance in your behaviours and practice on this. Do better - do something!

Good news from the European Association of Archaeologists #Archaeology

Update: I've now declined two invitations to participate at the Athens #EAA meeting #boycottEAA

#boycotteaa This action is being called due to ongoing: lack of transparency about processes before and during the Belgrade conference; bullying and intimidation of members by email and at meetings; releasing member information without consent. For more info, see: thepipeline.info/blog/categor...

Tired of excuses and obfuscation from the EAA Executive? Want a collegial and supportive society fit for its members? Read our call for voting and boycotting below! #boycottEAA LINK: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Archaeology in Greenland! #vikingsky My apologies for the bombastic title (the algorithm is king on YouTube ugh) youtu.be/-tHNfN55-GU

As I know many of my friends and followers are in Archeology.

In the context of this deplorable situation with the #EAA, I cannot support participation in the forthcoming Athens conference. I urge all archaeologists around the world, from students to professors, amateurs and professionals, to #boycottEAA

Saw this and thought of you @archaeodeathprof.bsky.social
