Archaeological land-grab again and again and again with complete impunity..

It’s strange to scroll through this depraved timeline today and be confronted with so many invocations of “illegal.” As if “the law” and its juridical kith hold any relevancy or power three years into a live-streamed genocide.

A piece related to this topic was published by an Egyptian scholar based in the UK 3 months ago. It is not referenced in the Guardian piece so here it is www.museumsassociation.org/museums-journal/opinion/2025/12/ancestors-dignity-cannot-wait-for-repatriation/#

Thank you @leverhulme.ac.uk for giving me the opportunity to pursue this project.

Wonder what Archaeologists and Antiquity Scholars did (or not) about Palestine in 2025? Here's a 80-item timeline! everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/2025/12/27/a...

When I was under 1, my dad was arrested in the UK. As was the standard procedure, he had the beating of his life and was left on a cell floor to reflect on the errors of his ways. He got 3 years in a max security jail. One of the men arrested with him died on hunger strike.

This week! Make sure to register online!

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.
