I’m now in Oxford which has places of learning everywhere 🤩 I’ve adopted a philosophy of a library a day keeps the ignorance away. I came for the ochre but read👇🏽😡. I know some may say it was of its time but contemporary proxies for ancient hominin behaviours persist.😕🏺

I finally got around to graduating from UoS last month… Of course I wore my keffiyeh… One of the lecturers told me afterwards they were so happy to see it they almost shouted out to me on the stage! 🙌🏽🏺

Well I got this offer from UoO earlier this year & after dithering I accepted. Whoo hoo! Unfortunately I did not acquire the scholarship to fund it. Boo! 😕 May be able to fund some (loan) but not all of it (nearly £20k)- any ideas? The dude suggested women in STEM but I haven’t found anything yet.🏺

I used to work in a sculpture park and it reminds me very much of the Peter Randall-Page pieces - Shapes in the Clouds.

Some of you may have seen the video of the wounded, dead & screaming children in Gaza today. I hesitated initially but I watched it because we must bear witness. It is horrifying. It seems appropriate to post Baldwin, perhaps every day, until there is some semblance of moral clarity. #genocide #gaza

There’s nothing congratulatory about this. I find it a colossal disappointment. 🏺

It was mostly delicious.👇🏽 Pitt Rivers was mentally exhausting work, I’m going to post about that separately. The dude showed me where he worked at the bioarch/genomics lab. We managed to have a chance encounter with an archaeologist at the bus stop who worked at the Ashmolean. 👏🏽

I did a ridiculous thing and bought a sea captain’s book collection. It almost included some beautiful photos, his hat and belt. The below is a small example but I have four more boxes which I need to shift quickly as I’m moving - any ideas??? 📚 🤯

I bought a huge heap of old books and saw this note by way of explanation for any/all discrepancies found within the volume 🙂 #HumanCondition

Nice pic! Ah yes, I once buried a mole in a stocking and had some of these pupae lovelies. They must have been present on its little silky corpse before I interred it. Just having a look at Phipps work. 🙂 I actually want to do some experimental archaeology with flies.

Help! I’d like to order some more of these sleeves for specimen slides but I just don’t know if they are made anymore. Do they look familiar to anybody?

She seems to believe in many conspiracy theories. She was radicalised during lockdown I think. More and more I think about this 👇🏽
