An annotated version of the image of β€œCheyava Falls” - a streaked rock, with grey raised parts and red annotations in the Martian red streaks, a circle indicates the markings akin to leopard spots, which have particularly captivated scientists, and the olivine in the rock. The image was captured by the WATSON instrument on NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover on July 18.

They were hiding under her picnic table to get away from this egret harassing them.

Just got to say the sentence, "I eat lunch with these ducks all the time, they'll mind their business." To a complete stranger today.

Why archaeologists must speak up for Gaza Archaeology isΒ often a mechanism of power. As such, its scholars have an obligation to speak up against oppression.

🏺 An extremely important article from @morganvl.bsky.social about archaeology’s complicity in the current genocide of Palestinians and why archaeologists - and the organisations that claim to represent them - must speak up and refuse to stay neutral. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

an irregular sherd of poetry about 8cm by 4cm. it is white with a maroon transfer pattern of an elephant in foreground wearing a saddle with riders and an aggressive baking dog. in the background are the spires of an Orientalist palace. it's all very British raj

question for archeosky 🏺

my mate James Flexner (too smart to be v online) excavated this very distinct piece of transfer ware at a 19th c site in East Polynesia. despite being a sherd need, he's been unable to identify the original pattern. anyone recognise it?

"ironstone" is stamped on the base

This point πŸ’―

If you want to know more about the Ahnenerbe (the Nazi "heritage" research institute conducting archaeological work, incl. Atlantis stuff), read Pringle's book. If you want to know more about pseudoarch in among the more contemporary far-right, I wrote a little something about it. 🏺

NEW: Last week, oil literally rained down on a Black town in rural Louisiana where 60% of folks live in poverty.

The company isn’t taking responsibility & the federal + state governments are saying residents have to clean it up themselves. capitalbnews.org/louisiana-oi...

I need an end to the Gavin Newsom thirst posting if you need a straight white man Democrat to stand up to Trump pick Andy Beshear who has never compromised on trans rights even for a moment
