Panamá/Noriega 1989

This is not the first US imperial atrocity for oil —let’s not exceptionalize it— but wow is is it awful. And the violation of Venezuelans domestically in the name of a sovereign borders they actually dgaf about. As Aimee Cesaire put it— the price of imperialism is the empire’s own civilization.

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

We've been up in York for @tag2025york.bsky.social conference where 3 of us met, Brenna gave a talk on the challenge of creating an accidental archive, AND... we only went & won the Outstanding Achievement Award for Archaeological Theory In Action 🏆! Huge gratitude to the entire community ❤️ 🏺

Yesterday was really a fantastic and warming experience to share my research with the @postmedarch.bsky.social community! It was lovely to see so many friends and meet new colleagues — Thanks a lot for coming and to the SPMA for the invitation! The lecture was recorded, so stay tuned for more info!

This was for sure a wonderful year! Looking forward to writing my monograph and starting a new project thanks to the generosity of the @leverhulme.ac.uk!

Amazing research coming from my colleague Dr Sally Hoare and the British Museum team who excitingly push back the origins of fire use by humans! 🎉 You can also read their paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'm late for the online celebration, but I'm thrilled for my brilliant colleague Ceren Kabukcu who got an ERC Consolidator Grant!!! 🥂 She and her future team will revolutionise the way we think about food and diet in history! Go team @livancworlds.bsky.social!!!

'Evidence points to a genuine rise in distress linked to poverty, insecure housing, austerity and the pandemic - and NO evidence that mental health problems were being over-diagnosed.' @danwjoyce.bsky.social Oladayo Bifarin @uk.theconversation.com #MentalHealth theconversation.com/what-looks-l...

Christmas is a time for gathering round and listening to a tale well told. So today's #AcademicAdvent is Dr Hannah Little @hanachronism.bsky.social, an expert in communications. Explore her work helping scientists of all kinds explain their research here www.liverpool.ac.uk/humanities-a...

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Really, BBC?

Seizing an oil tanker is a perfect symbol of what the US is actually after in its war of aggression against Venezuela.

So my 4-year-old fell at home. She immediately stood up and said 'I'm sorry' (to no one). And this, my dear friends, is how Britishness begins ...or better put, it's established.

"It's not about bringing home intimate objects or items or even artifacts. To us, it's about bringing home memories. It's about bringing home the dignity and the power that was taken away from our ancestors. In some ways, you're restoring those energies“ #museums #repatriation #IndigenousAmericas

Ethnic cleansing, genocide, and this horrific crime against toddlers (!!). Must be the year of massacring people with no consequences.

Today's #AcademicAdvent festive star is Dr Vera Slavtcheva-Petkova, Associate Dean for Global Engagement at @sotauol.bsky.social, who has just been appointed as a new Non-Executive Director at the UK National Commission for UNESCO. Christmas comes early! 🎁

Hubo un tiempo en el que la arquitectura asturiana brilló con luz propia. Santa María del Naranco, San Miguel de Lillo y Santa Cristina de Lena son tres pequeñas joyas del prerrománico. 📻 Lo contamos ayer en la radio: www.rtve.es/play/audios/...

“We built a relationship of trust,” Heckenberger recalls. “They taught me about their culture, and I taught them how to do archaeology.” Rewriting the history of the Indigenous Americas one relationship of trust at a time! Fascinating research and model of ethical archaeology in practice!

Today's the 50th anniversary of Franco's death. His brutal legacy still haunts us. More than 140,000 ppl were killed by him & his fascist army. More than 6,000 mass graves in Spain, only 17,000 bodies have been recovered so far. 500,000 ppl went into exile. More than 2 mn ppl emigrated. #NoPasaran

Book cultures in archaeology YESPLEASE!🏺

One of the most neglected finds in #Caribbean #archaeology —spindle whorls. This one is from St Lucia ~ AD 600, most likely to spin cotton or agave/maguey fibres. #FindsFriday #ArchaeoSky #Textiles #TextileArchaeology #Arqueología
