#Micromorphology is such a great tool. Soils can contain chunks of older soils, which can contain chunks of older soils. And you can tell the relative age based on what is inside what. This can help use reconstruct changes to the local environment. It aggregates all the way down. Soil-ception

Geirangerfjord, Norway

"Anger" means "fjord" and "geir" means "spear," so this is "Spear Fjord Fjord."

The fjord farms can be 200 m up. They are usually later medieval or later, but some may date to the Viking Period. Some hosted hundreds of seasonal workers.

Goats seem to be a near constant in my life. These little ones kept trying to steal my gloves and equipment while I was excavating a 18th-19th century farm in Geiranger, Norway.

2016, off the coast of Crete

My least favorite part, choosing the sample. It's not always apparent in the field (probably why they asked me to sample) and once you choose, you're sitting there for 1-3 hours delicately cutting the block wondering if it should have been 5 cm to the left.

Spent the day staring at relative luminescence counts from the soils at a Bronze Age cemetery in Greece. Everything looks like an excel plot to me now, but it looks like I can actually proceed with the method to help understand how the place was managed 3600 years ago! #geoarch

Hello 🦋, I'm an archaeologist & YouTuber

My agenda is clear: fill the internet with #RealArchaeology and oppose pseudoscience

I'm currently writing a book about Atlantis, analyzing sheep teeth from Knossos, teaching archaeological theory, and filming the ultimate video takedown of Graham Hancock
