  1. I may have, on occasion, addressed a #letter to "Future #Archeologist" and then ziplocked it and sent it to the landfill. Landfills are great #storage areas for keeping things away from oxygen and degrading in quality... though not too organized....

  2. #Acedemics in #Norway is up in a tizzy about the politicization of #acedmia - for good reason. The various #universities are public goods, that should focus on acedemic study and development, rather than political interests.

    Here is a case that has been talked about involving a #Russian #archeologist who might be extradited from #Poland to #Ukraine for what is considered "illegal excavations".

    My only question is have the artifacts been stolen and moved to #Russia?

  3. The lawyers representing the Algerians caught in the #Louvre heist should use the defense “He’s an #archeologist.”

    New findings in #Nature and phys.org?

    I'm neither an #archeologist, nor an engineer, but assuming that the the peer-reviewed article on phys.org does not omit any central aspects of the study in #Nature, it seems 👉rather narrow-minded in geographic and historic scope.👈

    "Culturas hidráulicas de #Moxos"/ #Camellones" / #Sucacollos, / #WaruWaru, the latest...

  5. I found this post about mastodon on Mastodon(!) Mastodon were cousins to elephants & wooly mammouth, and lived among hoo-mans 13K years ago (relatively recently). NY state is home to 150 mastodon fossil discoveries, w/ 1/3 in Orange County, where these teeth etc were found.

  6. An amateur #archeologist's dream

    But it's quite depressing

    A #Ukrainian digging a #trench somewhere on the #frontlines of the #UkraineWar, they find a rusty #Soviet PPSh-41, a submachine #gun, a #WW2 #relic

    Probably from another trench, dug in the same spot, by another Ukrainian, 80 years ago

    Fighting #historical German ethnofascism. While today his grandson fights contemporary Russian #ethnofascism

    So much suffering

    All of it pointless stupid folly of malicious vain men

  7. Yellowmead stone circle near Sheepstor in Devon, England is a concentric Bronze Age stone circle consisting of four stone rings set into each other. The largest is 20 meters wide and the smallest 6 meters. It is located on Yellowmead Down.

    The circles once surrounded a burial mound, although this is now barely visible. To the south-west some possible rows of stones branch off, crossed by a post-medieval leat that once served a nearby tin works.

    The site was excavated and restored by Rev. H Breton in 1921. In 2008, geophysical surveys and a small excavation were carried out to determine if the 1921 restoration had been done accurately (it was) and to find out if they were buried additional elements in the peat. Fallen stones were found in line with some of the stone rows, suggesting that further features may lie downstream below the slope.

  8. "American #archeologist dies after #Viking ship replica capsizes off #Norway"

    Those who wielded #AncientTechnology were masters but many died pushing the edge of discovery. So a sad modern coda

    "Thrilled to be a part of this crew, fearlessly embarking on this Nordic voyage on a Viking ship replica across the North Sea, pushing through physical and mental limits to sail into history"

    - Karla Dana, 29

    I hope she is in #Valhalla on the greatest of discovery

  9. 5000 years ago, the Neolithic people of Dartmoor cut this 27 feet high standing stone from granite where The Oxenham Arms is now located.

    The pub was built around it when it was a monastery around 800 years ago, the stone goes down into the cellar & up into the room above.

  10. Why #Christianity Framed #Herod as a #BabyKiller (feat. Dr #JodiMagness)

    How strong is the #archaeological evidence for #Jesus? World-class #archeologist, Dr Jodi Magness, joins me to discuss some top 10 lists of Dr. #TitusKennedy, an archaeologist who frequents Dr #SeanMcDowell's channel.

  11. Fascinating. I'm not sure if this will get me to watch the #JoeRogan #podcast, but it's nice to see that some smart peeps gird their loins and speak up about some of the lunacy that's being brought by disturbingly popular pseudo-archeologists like #GrahamHancock and his noisome ilk. In this case it's a gloriously named real #archeologist named Dr. Flint Dibble. Turns out that Hancock's nonsense helps #whitesupremacy make their dangerous claims. #science #disinformation boingboing.net/2024/04/19/arch

  12. A team led by #archeologist Christiana Köhler from #univienna is investigating the tomb of Queen Meret-Neith in Abydos - the most powerful woman in the period around 3,000 BC. ⏳

  13. Flirt with #archeologist:
    Hey, you wouldn't have a ziggurat?

  14. I'm pretty sure no archeologist has taken a look at this. Do they have an issue with my *disfavored* spelling?

    How about colour?

    Or favour?

    Or saviour?

    Or vitamin... Wait... that's spelled the same, I just pronounce it the British way.

    "But archeologist is not a Brit..."

    Shut up!!!!!!

    Did they just preemptively block me? 😭
