Is this a fucking joke @asor-research.bsky.social? You couldn’t send a clearer signal about how much you value diversity in this field

Looking over the program for the West Bank archaeology conference again, this is a real kicker - a "festive concluding session" purporting to address "ethical issues" discusses ISIS rather than, you know, conducting archaeology in the West Bank without Palestinians

I thought that these questions posed by Mustfaa Al-Hussainy on the lack of publication/presentation of Iraqi were really an incisive critique of Anglosphere archaeology in the Levant. www.asor.org/news/2024/12...

Wow, must have been tough for this mid-19th century British archaeologist to “contend with wild tribesmen”!

Do we really need another glowing retrospective on an archaeologist from an era of explicit colonial exploitation?

Teaser for my paper today at the Plains Anthropological Society conference!

To make it plain, I plan to talk about Planeview at Plains 🏺

Hi everyone! I am a digital archaeologist who specializes in the applications of 3D and GIS to understanding the development of social complexity. I also am interested in community-engaged digital public archaeology

Here’s a picture of me on a boat!
