It’s that time of the year when everyone wishes it was time for the field season again right? (July 2016 geophysics at Santa Elena on the South Carolina coast; the first permanent Spanish settlement in what is today the U.S.!) #archaeology #history

Fingerprint of an Indigenous potter living along the southeastern Atlantic coast c. 750yrs ago! Little oddities like this really collapse the perceived distance between the β€œus” of the present and the β€œthem” of the past #archaeology #history

This exhibit is excellent. Its dismantling is an absolute disgrace and embarrassment.

One (understandably!) under appreciated component of foodways research in #archaeology: eggs! Matt has recovered a range of eggshells (birds, turtles(?!), etc) in the remains of food trash associated with the enslaved community of the North End Plantation on Ossabaw Island, Georgia #history #ecology

Happy New Year! Here’s some recent LiDAR and GPR data we collected at the Ancestral Muscogee village of Hokfv-Mocvse, one of the earliest dated permanent villages in North America, c. 5000BP! Discarded oyster around the community gives the distinctive β€œring” shape #archaeology #history

One of the foci of our labs is the archaeology and ecology of islands and coasts. Accordingly, one of our specialties (@isazooarch.bsky.social’s specialties!) is FISH BONE!! It takes a special kind of archaeologist to love working with these tiny bones… #archaeology #ecology 🐠 🐟 🐑

Lab PIs are at the University of Georgia doing preliminary work for a new project at a 5,000yr old site on the Georgia coast. Step 1: DATES! They’re dating preserved fibers directly from sherds! These are the oldest ceramics north of Colombia and are tempered with Spanish moss! #archaeology #ecology

Two horses in a pasture. One in the foreground looks straight on at the camera. Another, sideways in the back, also looks at the camera.

Yes! For class readings, I’ve also been having students respond to the question: β€œWhat surprised you??” It’s been productive!
