The spread of agriculture didn’t just change our diets—it altered our jaws as well, making it easy to pronounce "f"s and "v"s and opening a whole new world of words. Learn more on #WorldAnthropologyDay: https://scim.ag/4gLysc0

How can island archaeology contribute to our understanding of issues faced by minorities, refugees, and homeless people? By challenging dominant narratives and emphasising alternative perspectives, by amplifying the voices of marginalised groups and reframing narratives of exclusion #wedoislands

In Science (p. 462) this week, my colleagues--Scott Fitzpatrick, Kristina Gill, Patrick Kirch, John Ruiz, Victor Thompson, Jason Younker--and I warn of the dire threat rising seas (0.81 cm in 2024!) and marine erosion pose for coastal archaeological sites worldwide. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Beyond "islanders": we often talk in abstract terms about groups and populations but who were the people who settled the world's islands, how many women, men, children, and elders? Are there any up-to-date studies that look into founder populations and sustainable island demographics? #wedoislands

We are officially coming off of X and focusing our efforts on fostering our archaeology community here! Please share our account around so that we can find our people! We look forward to meeting you all!🏺 #ancientbluesky #archaeology #classicsbluesky

Rapid population growth in southern China predates the introduction of rice and millet, so how did population grow so fast? Analysis of teeth and tools found evidence of taro and yam starch grains, suggesting they were the region's original staple. 7/8 🆓 https://doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2024.67
