Nice!! And yes, I reckoned that Obama was pretty much the most idea candidate ever for president and yet he drone bombed children, among other things
Obama made me an anarchist. That and a fairly drunken and sleepless night talking with some anarchist archaeologists

Myself and @mtrc.bsky.social are running a workshop on Games and Archaeological Play (GAP) at FDG 2026!
Short papers of up to 4 pages are due by April 5th. We are interested in any work that broadly relates to video game archaeology. See the full CFP here:

"Air raids are not only wrong. They are loathsome and disgusting. If you had ever seen a child smashed by a bomb into something like a mixture of dirty rags and catβs meat you would realize this fact as intensely as I do." - J.B.S. Haldane, 1938.
Thereβs a military installation 100m from my daughterβs primary school. Thereβs a WWII bomb crater in their playing field. Ffs people. Like anything could ever justify this shit.
What began as a reply expanded into broader thoughts about the Guardian article on repatriation of human remains.

One aspect of this whole thing is the need to invest in deep, meaningful, collaborative, international historical research, looking at multiple institutional archives (not just in museums) and personal ones where available.
We are happy to welcome Maki Wardle, @uoyarchaeology.bsky.social PhD student to talk about their placement at the European Space Agency (re-scheduled from last autumn):

YAAAAY congratulations!! So very pleased for you.
Slide that demonstrates that mental models suffer when an archaeologist just uses photogrammetry. The slide text says: Model of mental model creation during photogrammetry Relatively little interaction with complex mental processes that are key to interpretation in archaeology
Teaching Fieldwork & Digital Recording in our special topics module today. I'm still forever salty that one of the reviewers made us take this figure demonstrating the failings of photogrammetry for the creation of mental models out of our Aide Memoire paper. πΊ
As is often the case sadly
Muna in the sunshine in front of her title slide for Wadi Gaze with the textures and histories of a river map.
Our third CISA seminar and the brilliance of Muna Dajani and how to speak of a river! Oh how she presenced that 9km of the Wadi in Gaza - people and heritage and ecologies!!
A big thank you to our amazing audience for their thoughtful questions and insightful discussion -
Our H&S team would absolutely freak out
Love a thread full of north arrows

Everyone once in a while I come across something that reminds me that we have no idea what things looked like in the past.
