The First Lego League is a competition that schools from all over the place compete in. As part of the competition they need to consult with an expert. A lot of clubs use our program to make that connection.

This year's theme is archaeology. It's all-hands-on-deck for archaeologists.

On a beach in Oahu, 26 ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs—18 of which depict anthropomorphic stick figures—were exposed that were likely carved 600 years ago, a few centuries after the first Hawaiians arrived.

Cultivaria Bringing Archaeology to the table.

A couple of present and former ANU Archaeology students have been working to develop a board game inspired by the Deep Past called Cultivaria. They've (quite literally) just launched their kickstarter and I know a few of you love games so... #archaeogaming 🏺

Planning is underway for the fourth ArchaeoGaming Conference, with new collabs and features in development that build on what we’ve done before. Our recently updated website offers comprehensive info about the collective, the conference, and opportunities to get involved.

Movie sets. Material objects to portray fictitious worlds in a digital form to the public. The monumental sets made for film remain as tourist sites. What messages continue for the public long after the images disappear from the screen? #archaeology #pseudoarchaeology #heritage #historicpreservation
