We are trying to limit random walking on site, so as not to interfere w the magnetometry survey. One week of walks from house to trenches suggests we like walking in pairs or threes across. Relevant to creation of hollow ways? #Nippur #Mesopotamia 🏺

Ok, I need to find someone familiar with the White Sands footprints in New Mexico, and some familiar with the Amazon Geoglyphs in Acre, Brazil. Any leads would be great. #archaeology #Pseudoarcheology #lostcivilization #AncientApocalypse

Folks, I'm going to have to mute a few words here. My mental health & energy is much to valuable to me. Don't worry, my partner will make sure I know every time Cinnamon Hitler farts, but this is where I work on pseudoarcheology. Yes, I know these things are related. Let me fight the battles I can.

So. As I go through & do a full on break down of Hancocks second season, I'm wondering if there's any North American focused Archaeologists that will be up to discuss prehistoric America on the podcast. Bc that's the topic of this season & I've already read this book. #archaeology #pseudoarchaeology

Super interesting new study on archaeology + social media: 🏺
"This shows that negative emotions and misinformation do not have an inherent advantage in social media diffusion. The success of archaeological information depends on the broader subject or the target community"

Also Deep History sounds cooler. #archaeology #deephistory
Was there a time "before history"? And what does the focus on written "history" say about our understanding & appreciation of Indigenous oral histories?

As someone who has been attacked by a wild turkey, this is true.
You keep still, thinking her visual acuity is based on movement. But that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the sides. She doesn't bother to bite your jugular. No, she slashes you across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is, you are alive when she starts to eat you.
