Today’s experiment: can crispy chicken sliders with cheese and pickles be used to fuel a 15mi run?

Results: absolutely.

I learned that my title, Assistant Professor, in Mongolian is: Дэд профессор, which is pronounced: Dead Professor. This is now the only title I answer to 🧟‍♂️ 👨🏼‍🏫

Hey! Mine (Co-PI) and @isazooarch.bsky.social’s (PI) NSF proposal has been recommended for funding! Feeling super fortunate given the state of things 🙌🏻 💰 🎉 🐟 🦪 (fingers crossed for no unexpected hurdles to being properly awarded) #archaeology #ecology #fisheries #shellfisheries #sustainability

Hauling more dirt to @cmcarolus.bsky.social. I think we floted more per volume excavated than any site ever 🏅 Which has allowed us to recover incredible amounts of seeds and tiny bone. Data that rarely factor into narratives on the Xiongnu, the world’s first nomadic empire! Stay tuned! #archaeology

On our way home. MASSIVE shout out to @cmcarolus.bsky.social and Asa Cameron. They’re doing world class, game changing, groundbreaking research out here. Jazzed to be able to contribute to their new project. Psyched for them to hang at Penn State for the next few years AND to get back to Mongolia! 🇲🇳

So we had our own camp Naadam. As per tradition, all men had to wrestle in a tournament….including yours truly. Series title: The Anthropologist #anthropology #archaeology

Naadam (the national holiday) isn’t for a few more weeks, but a local community hosted their festivities today! Featuring: 25km horse races (kids only!; we have been watching them train, zooming past camp all week), wrestling, and khuushuur (a delicious fried dough pocket filled with mutton 🤤)

We are super lucky to be working with Dr. Jargalan Burentogtokh and his undergraduate students from the National University of Mongolia! Today they are learning how to map, draw, and excavate features. #archaeology

The eastern Mongolian steppe. Featuring a far off storm, meandering branches of the Kherlen River, flotation (a method we use to recover burnt/charred seeds from the archaeological record using water), and a bronze fish hook! #archaeology

If anyone was looking for a bedazzled image of a huge black stallion in front of an equally bedazzled ger under the full moon, the Ochir Market in Khulunbuir has one in stock.
