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.

The link feels like a sacrilege but the video includes work by the FOODSEC project!

I’ve tried my hand at creating my first custom feed! Irish Archaeology will (I think!) collect any post with the words Irish and archaeology / archeology or Ireland and archaeology / archeology as well as any post tagged IrishArchaeology or IrishArcheology (not case sensitive) feel free to improve!

Bluesky academics, let’s get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about

1) food economies of Bronze Age Ireland
2) relationship between food, death, and rebirth. Parallelism with fermentation?

1) fiercely debunking pseudoarchaeological claims of a Phoenician presence in Québec
2) is it spelled Acheulean or Acheulian?

1) Diversity in the visual picture of the past
2) Crazy Halaf burials

Scabbard Plates • Antrim • Iron Age

These beautifully decorated bronze scabbard plates were part of an important hoard of Iron Age objects found in a bog near Ballymena, Antrim, in the 19th century.

The surface is intricately decorated in the La Tène style.

See them in the Ulster Museum, Belfast.

Since we’re covering story maps in @ulgeog.bsky.social labs today, I thought I’d share this story map I created of the #archaeology work we’ve been doing at Dún Ailinne in Co Kildare! storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/88f6...

We've written a Researcher's Guide to Bluesky!

It's a bit like all those other useful guides to Bluesky, but with several useful insights from University of York academics about using the platform, and we'd love it if it was reposted far and wide...

Hey y’all! So I started this account last year (recommended by @ruthfcarden.bsky.social!) and shortsightedly didn’t interact with it. But I’m here now and excited to be here!
