Managed to combine two of my favourite things with the fantastic preservation of this leather #shoe that was found on board! (I’m holding a lovely replica- very small and narrow!)

Going with the Flow - Before Us
There is unambiguous agreement that early humans had to cross open water when they traveled from Sundaland to Sahul before 40,000 years ago. How were they able to do this and would ocean winds and cur...

It’s physically impossible to write a grant application without using some of these terms. And did you notice that ‘female’ and ‘woman’ are on the list, but not ‘male’ or ‘men’? 🚩🚩🚩
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I’m remembering #ProfLordRenfrew tonight. Such a formative presence in my undergraduate and then later in my PhD at Cambridge University. He leaves a huge legacy in archaeology and heritage.

Ok so it may all be green out, but snow flurries, on the south coast, in Nov! So unusual. Do I have to go and teach now? Surly just having snow flakes on the forecast constitutes a snow day?!
