  2. 🗿 NEW: Comic artist @Ullilust spent years reading #iceage #archaeology before #drawing it.

    Her "Early Man Was a Woman," the first comic to win #Germany’s top #nonfiction prize, argues the #StoneAge was more egalitarian than the familiar male-hunter image. #Paleolithic #art favors female figures, she notes, yet male researcher bias long dismissed them.

  6. A beautiful fresco and mosaic featuring a maritime city has been unveiled by Italian authorities. It was found during excavations in the 1990s and has been restored. Situated on Oppio Hill opposite the Colosseum, visitors can see the art work during a trial period of access commencing this month. The artwork features a city port from the perspective of a bird flying over. It forms part of a complex that was though to be for Roman baths. independent.co.uk/news/roman-c


  7. An 'exceptionally rare' ornament that is over 1400 years old has been prevented from leaving the UK by the government. The ornament which is from the Anglo-Saxon era features a four legged mount. The temporary 6 month ban is to allow a museum time to acquire it, as it is deemed a national treasure. It is valued at £1054. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2zln

  10. We Were Not Looking by Dante Muhammad, 2026

    We Were Not Looking reconstructs the world assumed by the patriarchal narratives through the environmental and political realities of the Middle Bronze Age Near East. Drawing on ancient Near Eastern geography, hydrology, land law, and tribal anthropology, the study examines how the movements of the patriarchs reflect the territorial and ecological dynamics of the Levantine corridor.

  19. Writing truckloads of papers on colourful subjects in an accessible style in the top academic journals for Northern European #archaeology will not get you a job. Nor even any sign of interest from other scholars.

    34 years into my career, the metal detector hobbyists and my tabletop gaming group have proved way more interested in whether I live or die than any Scandinavian university.

    I'm proud of what I've achieved, and I don't care whether they all get defunded.
