A small but mighty exhibition—“Costume as Art”—is on at the Met now. Fashion has always been Art, as @aimeehindsscott.bsky.social has long argued. And I finally got to see the famous Eupheme dress from Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall/Winter 2019–20 Alta Moda collection. 🌟 www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/...

🚨New Series Alert! 🚨 Series editors Louise Blanke and Anja Slawisch and I are excited to launch Edinburgh Studies in Classical Archaeology, which is seeking proposals for new books! All the deets: edinburghuniversitypress.com/series-edinb... @edinburghup.bsky.social @hcaatedinburgh.bsky.social

Screenshot of a webpage titled Edinburgh Studies in Classical Archaeology, series edited by Louise Blanke and Anja Slawisch. The tagline reads: Original and innovative research anchored in the material culture of the Classical past. The main paragraph reads: This series serves as a leading hub for Classical Archaeology, broadly conceived, bridging traditional material studies and new developments in the wider field. It welcomes research on material culture across a wide geographical range—from the British Isles to North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean—and spanning the Iron Age through the end of the long Late Antiquity (c. 1000 BCE–1000 CE). The series publishes monographs and edited volumes that explore regions, settlements, and objects in context. Contributions employ state-of-the-art methodologies to investigate previously underexamined sites, regions, and materials, or to reframe well-known evidence through innovative approaches. By integrating specialist expertise from adjacent fields—including ancient history, philology, epigraphy, archaeobotany, archaeometry, and digital heritage—the series promotes a holistic understanding of ancient societies and their interaction with their environments. Individual volumes are richly illustrated with photographs, maps, and technical drawings, establishing the series as a key resource for future research.

Just learned about this game -- you're given 10 artifacts / day (from The Met's collection) and have to guess where they were made and when. 🏺🧪 And it's hard! I only got top 35%, which is kinda sad as an archaeologist & author of our Astonishing Artifacts column @livescience.com. anthropeum.com

A daily game that challenges our understanding of human cultures. Ten objects. 5,000 years of human history. Guess where and when each artifact was made. See how you rank.

Your librarian should be able to give guidance but if it's helpful I used images from both games and films in my thesis under fair use. I only avoided one text for which I know the creator can be very difficult on image permissions

A lot of attention is paid to craft traditions in Western Europe and North America, such as handsewn Hermes leather goods and bespoke Savile Row suits. But the uneven focus leads some to believe that things made outside of these places are low quality. This is not true. 🧵

There's no argument against the practice, just that portraiture is not sufficient evidence of the physical manifestation of it, i.e., the Hapsburg jaw - the portraiture plays off the visual sign as proof of legitimacy so we can't assume a true to life representation

How Scientists Use and Abuse Portraiture

Many scientific studies assume that the features of painted faces are the facts of the flesh-and-blood countenances to which they refer. This assumption is not only false; it is preposterous.
