Archaeologists Against Apartheid urgent call for action! We are not anonymous. We are members of both the EAA&global archaeological community and more committed than ever to holding our representative organisations to account and anti-democratic influences.

Detrás de la posición de la EAA sobre Gaza están un antiguo presidente, Svend Hansen, y su actual presidenta, Eszter Bánffy. Ambos firmaron en abril de 2024 una carta en apoyo de las acciones de Israel en Gaza. Boicot @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social

Back to work and It was a day full of black chert industry from Middle Paleolithic levels of El Esquilleu Cave. Here a nice Quina scraper on a very solid piece of chert. Definitely not the best material to scrape with, though...
