As a person whose work often ties them to the scope for many hours at a time, I’m forever amazed by the microworlds that we can easily miss within and among ordinary archaeological remains. There is almost always much more to see and learn if we just look a little closer. 🔬🎣

Whats up in the lab today? About to run 47 dates from a 2,000yr-old settlement of the Xiongnu Empire in Mongolia and 23 dates from a rock shelter in Kyrgyzstan that was once along the Silk Road! Asa and Christina (@cmcarolus.bsky.social) are doing the COOLEST work! #archaeology #history #radiocarbon

It’s the Rolls Royce of imaging microscopes…total game changer (besides SEM). If you need high quality images of small specimens for upcoming publications, just say the word! 🙃🙃
Exciting work happening in the lab this week from @cmcarolus.bsky.social and Asa Cameron’s work in Kyrgyzstan! #archaeology #history #ecology
Currently in the Capriles Environmental Archaeology Lab @psuanthro.bsky.social using our incredible Keyence VHX-7000 to document very early Silk Road food remains (c. 2000 BP) from the Juuku Valley of highland Kyrgyzstan. Featuring: stunning images of peach pits, garden peas, and foxtail millet!
Ok this is WILD 🏺 paging my repatriation community peeps

Very cool new study on Pleistocene materials from the Pacific northwest, yielding what are currently the earliest documented sewn hides and woven basket/mat fragments in the world.
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

This Upton Sinclair quote never misses
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”
props to this christmas lad I’ve just spotted on @flightradar24.com
We don't have to let like 10 sloplords suck up all the water with soulless facilities that create a negligible amount of permanent jobs, pollute the environment with noise, and drive up electricity prices while the president carries out a fatwa against wind power.
My god, everything's so stupid.
The plagiarism-droid just wants to please you, and it will do that by inventing citations, which you will love because of confirmation bias.
It's not a literature review if you haven't reviewed the fucking literature.
Jeez...
Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social.
The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others.

Future is surely going to ask just how we could be so careless of the dangers of #PlasticWaste and #PlasticPollution

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Just found out that 74 of my works have been scraped/stolen by the plundering AI bots, which are nothing more than plagiarism machines really, with zero respect for copyright. My fellow writers, check it out for your own work.

Good read. Like the author of this thread I didn’t study at Chicago, but I did apply and have spoken there. And so many friends and colleagues passed through, coming out with impressive training in deep reading and analysis.
In just under 3 weeks, we look forward to welcoming researchers from 40 countries in Turin, Italy for ISBA11
