This beautiful Hawaiian quilt depicts traditional crescent fans called pe'ahi, made of intricately woven coconut fibre, human hair & plaited pandanus leaf, intermingled with pandanus fronds. The Museum has 3 pe'ahi in the collections but elsewhere very few have survived intact.

We thought we'd collect a few tips for the field season, to get everyone outside safely!
Have any other tips to share with young archaeologists? Pop them in the comments and lets start a discussion! 🧵

Extremely satisfied with the environmental archaeology session I hosted at the #CAA2025 ! Beautiful range of papers about charcoal, seeds, soils, animal bones & DNA. Especially happy with the fact that many presenters were graduate students or ECRs @can-arch.bsky.social

Had a good session at @can-arch.bsky.social this morning, but had to rush home to help with a broken bathroom pipe.
The other presentations on Beothuk archaeology, fires and evidence for prostitution in St. John's, and an accidentally cemetery disturbance were all amazing. Great work being done.
