🏺$1 million is not even pennies to Musk yet it's netted him valuable PR.
Taking money from any source with extremely problematic ethical approaches that include promoting scientific & historical misinformation should be something archaeological organisations avoid.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine.

And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide.

Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

Fieldwork has kicked off in the east angles…with this mighty team!

Some sneaky #BTS shots from the setup of #SuffArch25
4 people stand in a field with cloudy skies overhead. They are all looking at the camera and 1 of them is holding a black bin liner. A member of the dig team cleaning out the slip on site next to a row of portaloos. The sky is very cloudy. A member of the dig team in a supermarket with a full trolley of food and kit. You can just see their head. 4 people stand around some boxes of kit looking for the instructions on how to build the tent structure.
