Fantastic thread about the Roman Empire's relevance (or not) for our contemporary world 👇

A bit of rage quilting.. #Quiltsky

Thanks to all our editors, authors and book reviewers involved in #TRAJ Volume 7! As the journal continues to grow, I am grateful to the @openlibhums.bsky.social and our advisory board for their support, we would not be able to provide this platform for innovative Roman #archaeology without them.

We are very excited to host #NordicTAG26!

📣 One week left until the deadline! Submit a proposal for an #OpenAccess Special Issue of #TRAJ - push the boundaries of traditional approaches to studying the Roman world - Deadline 31 Jan, info below - #RomanArchaeology #Archaeology #AcademicSky

We are very happy to welcome 3 new Editorial Board members! Dr Stuart McKie (U of Exeter) Dr Cristina Mondin (U of Padova) Dr Berber van der Meulen-van der Veen (U of Amsterdam) Curious about the humans behind #TRAJ? Have a look at our current editorial team: traj.openlibhums.org/editorialteam/

I’ve had to read a certain inaugural address multiple times today for research purposes (it is a perfect case study on resurgent American imperialism for my current research funding application..) and it makes me sick. I can only imagine how 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ folks in the US feel. Love and solidarity!

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday

Today’s a great day to look at a nice summer view of #Denali, nothing else going on in the US of note.. 😭😬

The past, as always, employed politically…what mirror are the stones holding up to this time round….? As archaeologists we should indeed be very careful not to provide fuel for such ideas

NEW in #TRAJ 🪙 'Data Quality & Bias in the Coin Hoards of the Roman Empire Database: A Logistic Regression Analysis' by Philip Rademacher The author considers sources of bias in the 18,000 coin hoard database & if data quality correlates with hoard characteristics. FREE doi.org/10.16995/tra...

Some archaeologists consider their role to be to explain humanity to itself. Some to be stewards of the past, some to attach communities to place and the post through stories. Why would you allow rich white men to dominate those roles? The lack of diversity undermines the purpose of the discipline

Kossinna, "Sharply defined archaeological cultural areas correspond unquestionably with the areas of particular people or tribes.", was wrong.

Today is the last day to apply to join our editorial board! Drop us a quick letter & CV, and let us know how you would like to contribute to a growing Open-Access journal of Roman #Archaeology Info on how apply: traj.openlibhums.org/news/769/

A big thanks to the TRAJ editorial board, authors, reviewers, typesetters(!), and @openlibhums.bsky.social for helping get Volume 7 over the finish line! 🥳

Wishing everyone a calm and bright end to 2024 & looking forward to the (near) future in 2025 ✨

This is a great opportunity to edit a fully Open Access special issue in #RomanArchaeology, get in touch with any questions! #AcademicSky #Archaeology #Publishing

Wishing everyone a winter holiday with a cozy bed and a snuggle penguin 🎄

End of an era, indeed! It was my absolute privilege to contribute in a small way.

It’s a bleak time of the year without snow but at least there are surprise gnomes!

👏 great account to follow for anyone interested in #heritage #futuresthinking #archaeology & extra creative thinking!

@emilyhanscam.bsky.social & @corneliusholtorf.bsky.social contributed a futures perspective to ‘Hadrian’s Wall in Our Time’, a response to the cutting of the #SycamoreGap tree edited by David Breeze. 🌳 archaeopress.com/Archaeopress... #AcademicSky #HadriansWall #RomanArchaeology #HeritageFutures

If nothing else, editing Roman archaeology texts in the darkest month of the year reminds of the possibility of sunny days (and dirt) ☀️

It’s wet and grey in Sweden so I’m relying hard on the therapy fabric to get into the holidays.. ❄️ #quiltsky

One of my two errant furballs loving in the US landed themselves in the doghouse yesterday 🫣😂

I took the liberty of putting together one of these starter packs 👇. It's really just a very first, small collection and I would be delighted if you could help to fill it. 🏺 #Archaeology #Theory #TheoreticalArchaeology go.bsky.app/GURdkWn

We've got a great Ed. Board, and there is room for you! Previous editorial experience is welcome, but not required. Feel free to get in touch with any questions!

The best part of the holidays approaching is getting to start the husky count-down clock. I’m coming soon buddy!!

Great way to end the week with the 5th review of #DiggingPolitics, appearing in Anabases. In French! (Back in 2023, James Koranyi @durhamhistory.bsky.social & I edited a book on political uses of the past in East-Central Europe..) ➡ doi.org/10.1515/9783... journals.openedition.org/anabases/18088
