When did humans start using drills? “A new study reveals that Egyptians were using a mechanically sophisticated drilling tool far earlier than previously suggested” (about 3250 BCE). It’s the oldest known rotary drill 🔩 you guys!

I'm glad to be awarded this bursary by the @echistsoc.bsky.social
This will be immensely valuable for this final stage of my PhD!
Chris Wickham's 'Framing the early Middle Ages, Europe and the Mediterranean, 400-800' (2005) is widely seen as a milestone in early medieval studies.
New research published by Robert Portass, Peter Sarris and Caroline Goodson (@cjg70.bsky.social) now offers a critical response to Wickham’s ideas ⬇️

Yesterday, I had the great pleasure to be back at the Institute of History of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to present a conference entitled "The other side of the coin: credit in the late-antique taxation system" in a event full of great researchers. Loved it!
Imagina você prometer uma argumentação densa e no meio dela a gente descobre que o Ratatouille debaixo da sua peruca é o Marcos do Val rs
É exatamente isso que o Fux está dizendo.
Meu texto na @folha.com sobre o voto do Fux. Me ofereci pra fazer de graça.

Se quiserem mudar de assunto e me ouvirem falar de boatos, acho que esta entrevista para o podcast Estudos Medievais ficou bem legal
O voto de Fux hoje só me faz lembrar da mensagem de Moro para Dallagnol no caso da Lava Jato: "In Fux we trust". Nada novo sob o sol!

Any UK-based PhDs working on medieval women interested in giving a lighting talk to this seminar? It'd be good to get some premodern representation.
The reasons to kill the Humanities are political: The humanities teach students to THINK CRITICALLY about time, space, and power.
As such, they pose a direct threats to capitalism, fascism, and authoritarianism
OUP's Women in Antiquity is such a good idea - with recent additions on Balthild, Radegund and Theodora.
