Archaeologists: ¿Porque no los dos?

🏺🗃️ Grabbing some time for artefacts - who wants to join me for a live-posting visit to the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge? First 👀: amazing stylised muscles on a massive calcite carving from Assyria c. 800s BCE

If you are wondering why aliens haven't visited, its because we sent them nudes and directions to our planet...

Archaeology news you need to know! 😂

They offered the first apps for free, knowing the next dose would cost humanity its soul…

One of the weird great joys of my life is getting to tell my students I was wrong or don't know something. I think it's so important to model to students that it's okay to not know, change your mind, or admit mistakes about something - even when you're the expert in the room.

Big Archaeology up to its old tricks! 😂

My department is hiring a Biological Anthropologist, spread the word!!! jobs.radford.edu/jobs/teachin...

The Roman Pharos (lighthouse) at Dover, still standing after almost 2,000 years! 🤩 It is the tallest surviving Roman structure in Britain, and one of only three surviving lighthouses from the former Roman Empire! Dated 1st-2nd century AD. 📷 me #Archaeology

Historians: this is the archaeological equivalent (morally if not legally) of cutting pictures out of medieval manuscripts in a library and selling them on eBay.

Classic Gary Larson!

A REQUEST: I have a student who is wheelchair bound+their dream is to participate in an archaeological excavation... not a "token" desk job but for real, to dig. Their disability means they have to stay in the chair. What is out there for opportunities/adaptive aids etc? 🏺 (shared w their blessing)

Catching up on important reading!

The Venn Diagram of people asking when did Star Trek become so woke, and people who think there are five lights is a circle.
