Hey colleagues - the house is literally burning down. NHPA doesn’t have to be repealed if there is no one in the federal offices to turn on the lights. CRM firms won’t be ok. Academia won’t be absorbing folks as NSF grants are ended and universities stop taking grad students.

I'm a federal archeologist. I'm terrified, exhausted, and trying to figure out how to keep afloat after every freakin' executive order.

People have been dumping corpses into the Thames since at least the Bronze Age, study finds A new study of human remains dredged from the Thames River reveals that people frequently deposited corpses there in the Bronze and Iron ages.

Dozens of carbon-14 dates suggest the Bronze and Iron Ages were prime times for ‘watery’ corpse deposition. 🏺🧪

Was there a prompt list for 2024 Archaeology Inktober? I know i missed the boat, but the prompts are fun and help inspire illustrations, blog posts, etc. #archaeology #archaeologists #Inktober #prompts

Indeed, this is where we are.

One of my uncles went to Woodstock and he told me that he frankly "doesn't remember much." I'm guessing he had a great time.

I spent a good chunk of my maternity leave watching Horrible Histories during the wee hours of the morning with my peanut. So much fun! Not shocked an American version didn't work. Saying this as an American: we ain't a particularly witty, funny, punny bunch.

Tea and sarcasm.

At the Colorado Council for Professional Archaeologists conference! Very excited to hear all about different research occurring throughout the state. Gave my agency report, so now I can sit back, relax, and enjoy :)
