We are a team of freelance archaeologists working to develop PastForwardHub—a new global platform designed to support archaeologists.
The survey is anonymous, takes just 3–5 minutes, and could help us collectively shape a stronger future for archaeology.

This Saturday, starting at 8 PM CET, I will talk with @melissaindenile.bsky.social about alternative paths in archaeology.
Why this topic?
Because most archaeologists, regardless of their career level, struggle with career options.

An explosion damaged the Drents Museum in Assen in the night between January 24 and 25.
As a result, several archaeological masterpieces were stolen.

I’ve started an #archaeologicalillustration resource list 🏺 — illustrators, services, everything from artifacts to reconstructions in #archaeology.
If you’d like to be added, I’d be glad to include you!

In the first half of 2023, I was determined to exit archaeology due to a lack of career perspective
Then, I decided to become self-employed.
