I just saw that post on FB and the amount of positive comments he got made me shiver. This would have been such a fantastic find/context to study but now its just another bunch of objects

I didn't know that Tommy Shelby was the one who discovered the Snettisham deposition. Interesting

I also found something much, much smaller (thanks to my trained archaeologist eyes) that caused quite a bit of excitement, but that’s top secret for now...

“Oh, you’re an archaeologist. Did you ever dig any dinosaurs?” Yes. Yes, I have. 🦖 Huge thank you to Badlands Dinosaur Museum for letting me dig in the Montana dirt this summer. Finding and excavating a dinosaur egg (among other things) was genuinely one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.

I'm talking about archaeological artefacts that are being discovered. Not pre-owned commodities with a clear line of ownership

But museums aren't probably funded, neither is Archaeology. Also, our heritage should not belong to individuals and be freely accessible to everyone. The Past shouldn't have a pricetag

This is so cool. Any chance we can join online?

I am very grateful to have been invited by Campus Kristiansund and HUE Creative Studio to talk about my work as an archaeologist and enthusiastic traveller. I will be reflecting on identity, what it means to belong, and how we find ourselves in place and time. www.knn.no/aktuelt/akti...

“We know people of the past only through how others laid them to rest. In that sense, one is not born a woman, but rather dies as one.” Archaeologist Sabrina Autenrieth alchemyofthepast.bsky.social asks: what can Bronze Age burials tell us about sex, gender and identity? buff.ly/xzrVjax

Here’s a throwback to my most science-y job — working as a lab tech in aerospace engineering. And yep, every colleague and boss on that project was male… at least until I convinced them to hire one of my fantastic friends.

Science stuff: vacuum-degassing green silicone to make grid-stiffened composite structures for rockets and satellites.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Seeing everyone share their stories and shout-outs to female mentors made me realize… I’ve only ever had male mentors in my career. They were all great/-ish, but it does make me wonder if I’ve missed out on something. #WomenInScience

The February 2026 issue of The Sociological Review features Karl von Holdt on activism and the anti-apartheid struggle, plus we look at teachers under pressure, gender perceptions in past societies, copywriters facing the threat of AI and more. Read it here: buff.ly/tyue9Zd

Throughout the book but mostly the end, yes. Project Hail Mary is one of the best books I ever read. Can highly recommend, especially for nerds

Lord of the Rings (was listening to it on excavation and sobbed in my trench several times) and Project Hail Mary

Amazing jobs. Too bad the UK messed everything up with Brexit and the work-visa

I only listened to Harari's audiobooks when I was in the gym, maybe that distorted my perception

Sabrina N. Autenrieth @alchemyofthepast.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

I know there are many researchers who can, but it is not taught at University and it takes a lot of time and good feedback to improve that skill. And I wasn't talking about a 5 minute narrative. I was talking about 400+ pages books.

Same. I was a Diamond fan as an undergrad, but mainly because I really liked his writing style. It was so different from the often boring and painful to read research papers and books that were on the syllabus

010

Sabrina N. Autenrieth @alchemyofthepast.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

The main problem is that Harari, Diamond, etc. are good writers and they manage to create engaging stories in accessible ways. We really need to learn that skill

Spent two great days in Berlin at the interdisciplinary Baja Workshop "Who is who in Antiquity?". Learnt a lot about Egyptology, Literary analysis and Philosophy and gave my first talk on Fatherhood in Antiquity.

Indeed. Also zero chances for non UK residents to even apply to any jobs in that sector
