Any gamers out there? Archaeo gaming is a powerful storytelling platform. I am keen to attend this session at WAC 10 in Darwin this year

Hurrah for the sweet potato!

Excited to talk all things #ancientegypt for Year 7 students today, bringing my collection of replicas for an artefact handling session #Egyptology 🏺

It's time to switch off, and I mean properly disconnect, for the holidays. I've suffered #burnout too many times to neglect #selfcare ever again

Such a great thread

Was there a time "before history"? And what does the focus on written "history" say about our understanding & appreciation of Indigenous oral histories? In their sapiens.org op-ed @stephenacabado.bsky.social et al. suggest to replace #prehistory with #DeepHistory: 🏺 www.sapiens.org/archaeology/...

Meowseum. 😺 Bring your cats to the museum. I'm all for public engagement. If the animals can't harm the objects and no allergic humans (like me), then why not? 😻 #cats www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/h...

These are the cutest! 😍

Scientists Discover that Ancient Egyptians Drank Hallucinogenic Cocktails from 2,300 Year-Old Mug

This topic was mentioned by @johnschofyork.bsky.social in his plenary session at #AAA47, prescribing Archaeology to promote mental health. Such a brilliant initiative 🏺 www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc....

Thank you Luke Gliganic for a very exciting talk on rock surface and burial dating. Mind is reeling with the potential for dating archaeological sites in Australia #AAA47 🏺

Best paper of #AAA47? Joshua Willsher presenting on a new archaeological board game called Cultivaria.

Inspiring talk about #boardgames to engage with archaeological themes. Creative. Original. Interactive activity. Well done! #aaa47

Very dangerous to see humanities degrees in sharp decline 😳

Thank you @johnschofyork.bsky.social for an inspiring talk, emphasing "small wins", specifically in working with communities and the public. Gives me hope about future engagement works #aaa47

#exploring Wet Tropics World Heritage sites and fully understand #OUV of these precious areas and why they need to be protected #heritagematters

Headed to Cairns for #AAA2024 Looking forward to the papers this year and catching up with colleagues 🙌

Dinner in the temple. With #qmkurilpa I hosted a 4 course meal within the exhibition space with spectacular food using ingredients available during Pharaonic era. Incredible ambiance and fabulous people. By far, the most rewarding public engagement event I have ever done. #egyptqm #Egyptology

Great to see this research published. It's a lifetime of work for Richard Robins and Errol Stock, validating their theory of Pleistocene occupation on Minjerabah (N. Stradbroke Island). Proud to have been part of this team www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Going to properly switch off for 2 weeks. Headed into the bush without phone reception. Packed a stack of games, books, cheese and 6 bottles of wine. Not even going to bring a watch. Rest up everyone 🙏 See you again in January.

If I consider 'home' as California, then the furthest I've travelled is: E: Korea S: southern Tasmania W: Morocco N: Scotland

👋 hello! I finally made it here, thanks to @theotherkim.bsky.social for the invite. Looking for my people to rebuild the community that X lost.
