Gotta love late-stage capitalism. Now there are people charging money to teach other people how to get rid of all the stuff that capitalism convinced them they needed to buy in the first place.

It is indeed the end of an era.
The EAA is sorry to hear of the passing of Professor Lord Colin Renfrew, a reference of #UK and wider #European archaeology. We extend our condolences to family and friends. 🏺

Very sad to hear about this.
Colin Renfrew has passed away. A hugely influential figure in archaeology throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries.
Here are a few photos of him from about 15years ago, when I was working on his Keros Project.
