Another amazing mini-season with the @bsrome.bsky.social team, finding new ways for geophysics to teach us about the intersection of agriculture, marble extraction, and urbanism in the ancient Cyclades!

Marble from the island of Naxos was used for some of the most beautiful monuments from the ancient Greek world–but how were huge blocks like these quarried 2,500 years ago?

Check out our new paper in @antiquity.ac.uk at bit.ly/4h9AVik to learn how we're developing new ways to study old quarries 🏺🇬🇷

Thinking about the tiny island of Anydros, 30km from Santorini & the epicenter of an earthquake phenomenon that has rocked the southern Cyclades over the past few days.

Anydros is beautiful & we were lucky to document its amazing archaeology, featured today in @kathimerini.gr: bit.ly/4guaWA4

There's nothing better on a Friday night in Athens than hearing about Pirates, Exiles, & all of the archaeology that makes the Cyclades a fascinating part of Greece 🇬🇷

Instead of a beautiful dinner, a romantic walk around the Acropolis, or a late night at the club, join me at the Danish Institute! 🏺

A snowy November day in Copenhagen is the perfect excuse for a quick trip to the incredible Thorvaldsen Museum!

One of the most beautiful museums in a city full of them, it's entirely dedicated to the life & art of Denmark's most iconic sculptor. What's inside? Let's take a look in this 🧵!
