When (or if) the current EAA mess is finally cleared up, with new leadership, proper accountability, and an ethical compass restored, we really ought to make @andybrockman.bsky.social a honorary EAA member. If anything good comes of this debacle, it will be thanks to his investigative spadework.

This is more than distressing. Unless there is full accountability, I do not see how the EAA can continue in its present form.

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...

The latest announcement by @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social (“Next steps after the AMBM…”): This isn’t accountability, it’s gaslighting: vague apologies, procedural smokescreens, no responsibility, deferring debate, hiding behind volunteerism. Textbook damage control. #EAA

The tone of recent @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social communications and the abrupt policy reversal have deeply damaged trust in its democratic process. Many of us have lost confidence in the leadership. A vote of confidence or resignation is the only path to restore accountability and unity.

New in thePipeLine: EAA GAZA U-TURN TIMELINE OFFERS MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS The beleaguered Executive Board of the #EAA has a new timeline trying making it look like the wronged and bullied party, but it doesn't explain who allegedly bullied its members into reversing a democratic vote.

Disappointed and disgusted by @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social reversal, especially the censorship now being enforced. Mobilising volunteers to police academic speech is unacceptable. Solidarity with those who speak up and those who refuse to carry out these instructions.

Since the world is falling apart, and everyone’s talking about resilience, I had to write my own essay on it. No tips, no uplifting stories. ➡️ dimitrij.splet.arnes.si/2025/07/12/a...

📣 Abstracts are coming in — and they’re fantastic! The 27th Neolithic Seminar (Nov 7–8, 2025) is shaping up to be a bold exploration of Neolithic Ontologies. We’re still open for abstracts — send yours in! #NeolithicSeminar #Archaeology

Back home.

🚨 Call for Papers 🚨 The Drift isn’t a destination—it’s movement. Slow. Messy. Unresolved. We welcome work that wanders, leaks, resists conclusion. If it drifts, we’re interested. Submit at drift-journal.org or email us at [email protected]

Call for Papers! The Drift is not a place of arrival, but of movement, slow, erratic, persistent. It is a space for thought that slips, for language that leaks, for research that resists tidy conclusions. We welcome work that meanders, that ferments, that doesn’t quite fit elsewhere.

Back home.

I am back.

Last day to submit an abstract!

You still have time until Monday to join us at the "The Archaeology of Experience" session!
