Hello! 👋 I’m an archaeologist who studies the last 5,000 years of human history across eastern North America! I work primarily in the American Southeast, from Southern Appalachia to the Coast, on Ancestral Muskogean, Spanish Colonial, and Gullah-Geechee #archaeology!

One of the foci of our labs is the archaeology and ecology of islands and coasts. Accordingly, one of our specialties (@isazooarch.bsky.social’s specialties!) is FISH BONE!! It takes a special kind of archaeologist to love working with these tiny bones… #archaeology #ecology 🐠 🐟 🐡

Lab PIs are at the University of Georgia doing preliminary work for a new project at a 5,000yr old site on the Georgia coast. Step 1: DATES! They’re dating preserved fibers directly from sherds! These are the oldest ceramics north of Colombia and are tempered with Spanish moss! #archaeology #ecology

They promote suicide and murder, undermine a century of educational practice, drive deskilling, harm the environment, and benefit foreign adversaries spreading disinformation.
But the federal government wants to prohibit states from regulating them.
You'd think they were guns.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Handing out tons of zeros tonight for AI use 😢 Lots of apologetic emails from students. One thing I’ve learned from dozens of explanations over the last two hours: corporations have successfully rebranded blatant cheating as “helping.”

Excited to give a talk for Universität Bonn’s Debates in ArchaeoSciences Lecture Series this Friday, and to spend time with their wonderful research community! 🧪🏺
250 BC to 150 AD, the Xiongnu formed one of the earliest nomadic polities in Eastern Eurasia. Linked to the later Huns in Europe or not, their foodways were far more agricultural and diverse than assumed. Join us and @cmcarolus.bsky.social this Friday in HS2 — or get in touch for the Zoom link!

Yesssss. Just make the change, add the paragraph, delete the sentence, include the extra citation. You are a co-author.
Just a reminder that if you are co-authoring something, editing the document directly instead of commenting/suggesting (with track changes, obvs) is way more helpful.
You aren't grading, you are co-creating.
(not vague-posting, i really do promise)

Headed back from an EXCELLENT trip to @leizarchaeology.bsky.social. Matt will stay to finish his samples. But why zap shells with a laser? Sure, we’re figuring out what seasons these oysters were collected 200yrs ago, and from where in the estuary, but so what? #archaeology #ecology
