This is such a shame. What's been happening in EAA over the last six months or so is awful and is certainly putting off many of us from joining or attending.
Archaeology will never not be political and I am so proud of all those who have taken a stand against the bullying.

![Samaria! changed into Sebastia! by Aren Maeir. edites between [ ]
"Today we went out for a field trip with the participants of the "Samaria and Jerusalem" conference. The first stop was at the site of [ancient] Samaria/Sebastia [which, in the 1st millennium BCE, was the] capital of the Israelite Kingdom. [The site of Sebastia is now part of the village of Sebastia (a name that goes back to the 1st c. BCE) in the West Bank, Israel is currently attempting to illegally annex Sebastia in order to turn the site into a Biblical theme park] Last time I visited the site was in the early it's [sic], so it was super interesting and exciting to be bacl at the site [in total impunity]. Here are some pictures that I took on the site. Follow 9 thumbnails of pictures.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5swu7mwhi4orj346gfdi73lo/bafkreies7bcmouvv46wtcyzb2g7aj45mmkej4tvz4didj46gdqq2rrhsua@jpeg)
