Shell midden on the Patagonian Atlantic coast.
Food has always been important to us, but not just as something to eat. Shell middens, made from seafood waste, have also served as community landmarks and burial places.

Today’s teaching is an artefact workshop and I got to bring these beautiful copies of upper Palaeolithic art as a treat. Bonus: also brought my own.

Yesterday was ‘bring your husband to work day’ for me 😂 Feels like I’m famous when he’s just randomly snapping pictures.
Good date activity though; first make them listen to your niche lectures and then eat a delicious lunch without doing the dishes.
