Great news for both parties!

Poster presentation of rescue excavation and interim results (2012)

North York Moors, Westerdale, high altitude, remote, peat moorland, eroding, losing fragile archaeology

Excavation area, every flint find (and worked jet) plotted, possible structure, hearths, specific activity areas by artefact type

Indoor lab work to reconstruct the excavation and all records for flint finds and charcoal samples (for dating)

#Archaeology 25yrs exactly since rescue excavation of upland Late #Mesolithic activity area N York Moors, England. Possible structures, every flint plotted. Radiocarbon dates overlap earliest coastal Neolithic (pot & salt manufac) by generations 3900-3700BC.

Feel very privileged to be part of this new dream team of editors for Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society. We've got a new editorial board, a more rigorous approval process, and we're working on some exciting papers which will be in a new look, new format journal! @prehistoricsociety.bsky.social

We used to get paid weekly in a brown envelope (not very) full of cash....

Ha! I had at least two jobs before the Tesco one. Anyone know what Bugdens (and there's a memory in itself) paid 15 year olds back in the day?

I spent decades at Columbia. I’m withdrawing my fall course due to its deal with Trump | Rashid Khalidi The university’s draconian policies and new definition of antisemitism make much teaching impossible

"Columbia’s capitulation has turned a university that was once a site of free inquiry and learning into a shadow of its former self, an anti-university, a gated security zone with electronic entry controls, a place of fear and loathing..." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sorting the back of the loft and found a box from school days. This job offer in 1990 paid the princely sum of £13.93 for seven hours work! (And I was happy to have it)

Great Polish Map of Scotland - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_P...

The very, very odd concrete relief map of Scotland made by Polish folk in the Borders in the 1970s. Utterly strange. 5x vertical exaggeration.

Agreed.

What a loss indeed. Hopefully in better times it will return.

Not such a bad campsite.... St Mary's Loch, Scottish Borders

From our new preprint on physical activity (PA) and cardiometabolic health among the Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia.

An extreme lifestyle gradient results in drastic variation in PA, w/ especially notable age-related declines in PA with urbanization

Are you a researcher 5+ years post-PhD and interested in moving to Ireland? We have a new scheme which will support relocation and start-up costs.

A first for Scotland! I love these degrees, and the graduates they have produced elsewhere in the UK. Very excited to be able to support this option for our students at UHI moving forward. If you're interested in hosting a placement student, get in touch!

New article on 'Sustainability' out in the Open Encyclopedia of Anthropology! Written off the back of designing the @soasanthro.bsky.social MA Global Futures and Sustainability curriculum - thank you to our amazing students and all who supported!

To Raise Children, We Must First Raise Parents An anthropologist compares her early motherhood in London with child care experiences in a hunter-gatherer community of Central Africa.

“Parenting is never perfect. Cultures raise children differently, shaping adults valued by their own standards. But one truth emerges: Learning to care for others should start long before having a baby”

A sign on a fence that reads: ‘Run like you left the immersion on.’

At an athletics competition with my daughter today in Tullamore, and they have the most Irish of inspirational quotes.

1) The Ulster Institute doesn't exist. It's a PO Box.
2) 'We'? It's a 1 author paper, he's not the fucking queen.
3) PGS for populations separated by 1000s of years are different? I'm surprised Nature didn't go for that Breaking News.

Typical total risible arsefapp from Mankind Quarterly clowns

A cheating git has cloned the Past Horizons Webshop aimed at the United States market and they are now trying to get it taken down.

PLEASE DO NOT use it as it has none of the products advertised.
The legitimate webshop is: pasthorizons.com/- so only use this address to buy archaeology equipment.

One other 7/7 thread today. Because I think how the bus network got running again is a real testament to some serious heroes that day:

The bus drivers and staff who got that network running again and got London home that night.

And TfL/the Mayor disobeyed the Security Services to make it happen /1

Turn this off if you still have an Academia.edu account.

Reposting the extended deadlines below. Please share in your networks if of interest! 🙏🙏
