Hello Bluesky. I'm here because Meta doesn't want me. Looking forward to post unfiltered, unhinged and un-whatever stuff here. Tell your friends!

I have funding for a 2-year dry-lab postdoc to join our team @humanevouu.bsky.social 🧪 (Deadline Oct 21st)

The project will utilize modern and #aDNA data from humans and sheep to study environmental adaptation (including method development and simulations).

Please share!

Our fieldwork in Rangárvallasýsla (South Iceland) is now finished! Seven deserted farms were trenched and cored. Preliminary results suggest that c half of the sites were abandoned before 1500 whilst others were settled later. And some remained in use until the 17th century.

For #AskAnArchaeologistDay, I’m asking archaeologists (and enthusiasts) to join me in donating to help Palestinian archaeology students complete their degrees.

We owe it to our future colleagues in Gaza to support them in spite of the genocide.

It's Christmas, so of course we have to bring you a reindeer story! A rare #Viking #comb found (even more unusually) by a detectorist in East Anglia. The finder reported it to the #PortableAntiquitiesScheme, & then generously donated the find to Suffolk County Council Archaeology Service.
