In this ethnography of the relationship between archaeologists and construction, we explore how both disciplines communicate, and how concepts such as risk, incommensurability, uncertainty and translation..

Starmer understands that the role of PM historically is to advance colonial interests and suppress working classes at home.
Unleasing racist hooligans from a settler colony on a British working class community with a large Muslim population is entirely in line with that.

The fact Starmer has spoken up more for some foreign football hooligans than British citizens captured in international waters a few weeks ago speaks volumes

Considering the events in the last couple of days, I have decided to not participate with my talk at EAA today. I am deeply sorry as the session was fascinating, and I was excited. I just don't feel able to discuss the impact of Capitalism in Archaeology's disciplinary culture, which was the topic

This makes me uncomfortable. Not only is this a question of ethics & respect, but perhaps these two archaeologists should ask themselves WHY a tech titan from Meta would want to locate heritage sites in resource-rich, Indigenous regions like the Amazon.

Where should archaeologists dig next? The winners of this OpenAI contest can tell them.
Archeological sites, like those in the Amazon, are disappearing faster than we can find them. Can AI help?

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.
