Welcome to #archaeosky. We have knowledge to share about our human past and why it matters today
We dig trenches & piece together artifacts, analyze biomolecules & translate dead languages. And fight against misinformation
But most of all, we are into dirty old things and not ashamed to admit it 🏺

I made an archaeology starter pack - please feel free to share and follow the folks on here, I'll definitely add people as they start to pop up on BlueSky! 🏺🧪

Archaeosky has lost a shining star yesterday. I'm still processing it. Thanks for being you, Rena.
Very sadly Rena Maguire passed away earlier today, announced by the UCD School of Archaeology on Facebook a little while ago. We at the @pictishartssociety.bsky.social are all deeply shocked and saddened. She was a great friend to the Society and we were very much looking forward to her paper.

Had a great time at the "Earliest Symbols" conference in Bologna. Kudos to Silvia Ferrara, Ludovica Ottaviano, Adhi Agus Oktaviana and all the #sapience team for putting together such a stimulating event on one of the hard problems of archaeology 🏺

Quite the boggy, marshy, hardy heather root and tussocky grass strewn hike to Tod Crag yesterday. In northern Britain, 'cup and ring mark' rock art falls within the 4000-1500 BC period. Definitely a venerable contender for #WeekOForOld #AlphabetChallenge #Northumberland #archaeosky

Been thinking about radioarchaeology lately. A sci-fi concept where intrepid archaeologists travel FTL to intercept the original broadcasts of lost media and preserve them. I think I first read about it in a Jack McDevitt story but I don't remember its name.

Very honoured to give the Geoff Egan Memorial Lecture this year!
Drawing on Latin American scholars and artists, I will explore what an Archaeology of Radical Tenderness is and how transformative can be for our discipline.

Ancient Eridu (Tell Abu Shahrein in Southern Iraq) is memorialized in Sumerian literature and historiography as the first city, the place to which the scepter of kingship first descended. It was inhabited since at least 5500 BCE.
