This one is important. Time to listen in and make your voice heard.

This has been super fun so far…well worth it to get involved and see for yourself how smart and creative these students can be.
Here I am. Once again. I'm out of archaeologists.

We matched 576 groups w/archaeologists, leaving 13 groups unmatched. This brings me pain! We've never run out of scientists like this before. 598 requests for one category is A LOT. But still.

Archaeologists 🥺

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.

First Ohio, then Arizona, now Washington. SHPO offices are quickly running out of money, unfortunately more will follow and this threatens the important work they do.

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
Hi Chloe,
This is news to me (and to my editor at Routledge.) I'm shocked to find this out. I assume that this is somehow a pirated edition. Does it include the section on Neurodiversity? Part VIII?

New regulations allowing many energy projects to proceed with “at most” seven days of Section 106 consultation. This will be an impossibly short time for many tribes to respond.

State humanities councils received notification last night that our federal funding from NEH has been terminated, effective immediately.

These cuts will have a devastating impact on our statewide service. We need your help today!
