For #StandingStoneSunday, I was going to post one of Clarissa Miles' photos from Stonehenge in 1901. She was the photographer during architect Detmar Blow's operation to straighten Stone 56, and William Gowland's excavations, but instead, here's a passing shepherd and his sheep on the (1/2)

Reform is racist. Let’s just say it. Loudly and often. They’re racist. Don’t take them on on how they plan to fund their nonsense. They don’t care. They don’t say it because they’ve worked it out. They say it for headlines and for voters who want prejudice as policy. They’re racist. They’re failure.

“Four days after Russia started a war in Ukraine, FIFA and UEFA suspended Russia. We are now 716 days into a genocide – and yet Israel continue to be allowed to participate. Why, why is it double standards? FIFA and UEFA must suspend Israel.” - Eric Cantona

This is precisely why the monarchy should be abolished. You can pretend they are merely decorative, but this video says otherwise. Rich white men love that aura of divine power

I had so much fun this morning – despite the 50mph gusts of wind and stinging nettle jungle to cross – doing some ✨actual archaeology✨ and learning something new to me: helping with Cambridge Archaeological Unit’s augur survey at Flag Fen. I’ve never done coring before and it is so cool!

An auger is mightier than the trowel (sometimes).

Happy 4th anniversary to the time this happened on Twitter.

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

Thanks to colleagues in Spain who, following the EAA AGM last week, have taken the lead in calling for a special meeting - open to all EAA members to sign if they so wish ⬇️

Who can join? Everyone! But maybe esoecially archaeologists, researchers, or students want to participate to visualise complex ideas, try out new perspectives, or connect through drawing. It is about thinking on paper and sharing your ideas with the community. 3/3

What are the relationships between local communities and major heritage sites in Syria, and why do they matter? Adnan Almohamad and I attempt to begin to answer -- out now, open access. www.brepolsonline.net/doi/abs/10.1...

Any help sharing this much appreciated! ✊🏼 @archagainstaparth.bsky.social @a-rfa.bsky.social @blacktrowel.bsky.social @watchingbrief.bsky.social

Calling all #EAA past and present members! A lot of us are not happy with the events of last week, and with EAA's bleak attitute towards the ongoing genocide. Sign this petition for a special meeting, so we can call a vote of confidence against the current board. Thanks! forms.gle/cTp7BXiUD1qC...

popping my head in to post this on behalf of and at the request of my very dear friend and colleague matt walsh who is not very online. #eaa2025

Dear colleagues, some concerning news has been circulating this week in relation to the 2025 @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social Annual Meeting (Belgrade Virtual). We, the IAI Board, believe it is important to acknowledge & share this info. Please see the full statement, with links, here: buff.ly/8YG0WmV

Disappointed with the events of #EAA 2025. How has it come to pass that opposing genocide is a radical act? A reminder that 18 months ago the EAA issued this statement following an open letter from Irish archaeologists. www.facebook.com/share/p/1FDb...

very telling that the not-anonymous Archaeologists Against Apartheid are described by the EAA exec as “an anonymous group”—while the actual anonymous actors seeking to intimidate to curtail freedom of speech are not even mentioned by them other scholarly organisations have resisted this pressure
