🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency.

They are out of energy and they are starving to death.

I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it.

If it wasn't so important to put the Great Barrier Reef ON the #WorldHeritage in-danger list, Australia wouldn't be working so incredibly hard to keep it OFF the list. Instead they'd be doing more about saving it from fossil fuel emissions and development. 🌏 🪸🌊 🦑 #climateheritage

The juxtaposition of a mammoth reduced to the barest line, with the most human of symbols in blood-red ochre.
Yes, there is probably something to decode, but first it's important to share the awe that human art can persist for such spans of time.
That we can still encounter it.

Prehistoric imagery is not „primitive“ and stylization doesn’t equal lack of skill. It shows the opposite, the ability to create meaning with a few clear lines. Late Neolithic stone figurine, Aigina. National Museum Athens. #archaeology

I had the privilege of joining Thomas Seltzer on his podcast #Trygdekontoret. We delved into the fascinating world of tattoos in prehistory, exploring their meanings, cultural significance, and the enduring human connection to tattoos through the ages.

I guess this is one way of getting more plans with ‘substantial public benefit’
The devil is in the detail: protected 'unless it can be demonstrated that the substantial harm or total loss is necessary to achieve substantial public benefits that outweigh that harm or loss'. Yes, who decides? 'Substantial public benefit' is subjective... #Archaeology
The much anticipated revised edition of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) for England has been published by GOVUK.

The good news, there is still a section on the Historic Environment...full analysis of any changes later.
