I am deeply honoured and grateful to be part of the 2025 cohort @leverhulme.ac.uk Congratulations to all the awardees!

#BANEA2026 will take place in London, 22–24 April 2026, under the theme Production and Consumption of Knowledge in the Archaeology of West Asia. Planned sessions include history & historiography, maritime archaeology, museums & heritage, among others.

I have a new article out today in Public Humanities, where I try to find some words for how historicide is (and has always been) a project of European colonialism - and I try to find some words for the historians who continue to support it. 🇵🇸✊🏻 Open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The moral compass of many (white) archaeologists was clearly lost already a while ago (if they even had it). The President of the EAA also signed a support letter for Isr*el in April 2024, after the killing of 34,535 Palestin*ans and injuring 77,704, destroying hospitals/universities, etc.

BTC Call for Action - EAA EAA reversed its decision to exclude Israeli institutions complicit in the genocide of Palestinians after intimidation campaigns. Read & share the full statement: blacktrowelcollective.wordpress.com/2025/09/02/b...

Given the EAA has gone back on excluding Israeli institutions from the conference - and is also trying to prevent @archagainstaparth.bsky.social from protesting in their sessions - it’s time to walk away until they can find their moral compass. blacktrowelcollective.wordpress.com/2025/09/02/b...

Over 1200 signatories asking the EAA to boycott Israeli institutions complicit w genocide and yet its executive board decides to cave in to Zionist bullies while attempting to silence @archagainstaparth.bsky.social 🤡 Executive board members + EAA emails listed here: www.e-a-a.org/EAA/About/EA...

A scholar from Ariel University was recently excluded from WAC as it is recognized that this is a university of illegal occupation.

April 15 SkySat imagery from @planet.com shows Tell Ali Muntar, an archeological site already damaged last year, has been further damaged/turned into an IDF staging area with berms. A nearby cemetery has also been damaged. This is part of the IDF's expansion of the buffer zone into Shejaiya.
