Yes I can see because you tagged me and I have no idea why you tagged me in this.

who are you talking to?

I am so nervous about starting and messing up...!! But I guess with stranded colourwork it's pretty forgiving unlike with lace, etc.! I have a dream of a sweater or socks with ceramica listata motifs...

Nerdy and niche ask this morning but do I know any classicists/ archaeologists who are also knitters and make their own colourwork charts? I have a vision right now to make some motifs I see often in my research into charts... but not sure how to bring this to life...

as a bosnian, i cannot accept this depoliticization of the mass murder that was directed against us. to brazenly claim that the violence has "no political or religious motivation" is beneath common sense. it harms any understanding of what happened in sarajevo and bosnia

Italy Still Views Albania Through a Colonial Lens Italy once conquered Albania, claiming it was bringing civilisation to a barbarous people; judging from the language of its current diplomats, its mindset hasn’t changed.

Every time I read a headline about any Rama-Meloni joint initiative this article by Fabio Bego immediately springs to mind balkaninsight.com/2023/07/17/i...

Ha!! Yes! My mother's family is "Deluca" - but various relatives are de Luca, De Luca, DeLuca, etc... And my father's family has had a double surname for a few hundred years, families have either kept both and kept a space, kept both and hyphenated (like me), or dropped either one of the two names!

That is so kind! Sadly my current full-time job is preventing me from a lot of my academic passions but I hope sometime to join these events again in future!

Happy to be co-organizing this panel scheduled for next week! You can register now and pre-submit questions here: bucknell.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

On the bright side - although they don't really fully understand what I do, my extended family is always impressed and thinks I'm way smarter and more successful than I am 😂 thus very good at hyping me up!

Striking is the perfect word for it. But it seemed less abnormal when I was an undergraduate - my uni had tons of first-gen kids, kids from immigrant families, etc. Grad school is when it got a little shocking. Neither of my parents went to postsecondary and my grandparents were all illiterate.

White text on Black background. Statement on American Cultural Resource Management Companies and Saudi Arabia In recent days, the news of comedians accepting money from the government of Saudi Arabia to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival has cast a spotlight on the ethics surrounding business ties to a government with a documented history of human rights abuses including slavery, the murder of journalists, and financial support of terrorism. While the current media cycle focuses on the involvement of celebrity comedians, we take this opportunity to condemn the lesser known, but no less unethical, business relationships between the American cultural resource management industry and the government of Saudi Arabia. Namely, Chronicle Heritage, AECOM, and WSP each have extensive contracts with the Saudi government, with Chronicle Heritage specifically providing archaeological services to the Saudi government through the Royal Commission for Al-Ula to support the development of their cultural tourism industry. These business entanglements are especially troubling as they directly support the advancement of development projects that will almost certainly be carried out by exploited slave laborers, as is the case with countless projects sponsored by the Saudi government. As a collective of cultural resource management professionals organizing for better labor conditions for archaeological technicians in the United States, Unionizing American Archaeology stands in solidarity with exploited workers around the globe, and strongly condemns the participation of American CRM companies in Saudi government development projects. Archaeological technicians who work for multiple companies on a contract basis are in a unique position to take a stand against this massive ethical violation by refusing employment offers from companies with business relationships with the Saudi government. We urge archaeological technicians to refuse work with Chronicle Heritage, AECOM, WSP, and an…

A dark, almost black ball of tightly wound thread. The thread is densely packed, creating a l complex interwoven texture.

The condition of fabrics from pile dwelling and wetland settlements is amazing. This charred ball of thread was found at the site of Marin-Epagnier/Préfargier. It was made of hemp or lime fibres, and dates about 3900 to 3300 BC. The thread measures a total of about 10 m in length.
