Unfortunately no, sorry! Apparently they had let me buy their display one since they were switching to Spider-Man, and had sold out of the others a while ago 😔

Ok. I was at the Field House Museum in Chicago on a research project, and they had a Pokemon Fossils exhibit. It was awesome. Both the Pokemon skeletons, and the original fossils. Gotta love an excavator pikachu!!!

Probably Horus or Sokar, but it’s hard to say with uninscribed birds

Carrie Arbuckle @archaeocarrie.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Hard to tell with birds when there is no inscription, but Sokar or Horus is a good guess

While at the Museo Egizio this summer, there was a fascinating fashion exhibit with works by high end designers and fashion students with some incredible Egyptian inspired ensembles!! Check this link out for more!! (Including the artists’ names!) #Egyptology #Archaeology hubstyle.it/en/2026/06/1...

Outfits created by fashion students inspired by ancient Egypt - this one is a mostly black skirt and top with golden details, creating a flame like pattern on the arm

Outfits created by fashion students inspired by ancient Egypt - this one reminds me of a mortal combat character with a “ninja” style mask.

Took some pics of a few of my favourite things from the Museo Egizio in Turin! Here’s one - this absolutely gorgeous ostracon with a dancer from the New Kingdom (around 1200 BCE or so!) (inv. C. 7052) #Egyptology #Archaeology

Look at this beautiful little pudgy wooden bird. This is from the Museo Egizio in Turin. We were studying her with the students, teaching them about analyzing ancient wooden objects. #Egyptology #Archaeology

In Saskatoon, the Museum of Antiquities at the University of Saskatchewan recently got these incredible facsimiles. Fantastic to bring my Archaeology of Mesopotamia students to visit and discuss these pieces. #Archaeology #USask #SteleOfHammurabi

This week in class, my students and I experimented with barley processing - threshing, winnowing, and grinding. Lots of fun, and made it so much easier to interpret evidence from Abu Hureyra. Also - no complaints about winnowing in -35 Celsius!!! lol. #Mesoptamia2Saskatoon #Archaeology

A student beats a bag of barley stalks to separate the kernels from the stalk.

Students toss winnowing baskets outside - separating the kernels from the chaff. It was -35 degrees Celsius! Just my luck we have a cold spike on the only day I’ve asked my students to go outside…

Grinding barley on a quern - well, technically a metate, but this was the closest I could get

I love this bag - from a great bookstore in Cairo - Diwan. Featuring the hoopoe, one of my favourite birds, often shown in ancient Egyptian garden scenes. #Egyptology

This is one of my favourite scenes from the tomb of Horemhab - the ritual of breaking the red pots. This ritual was actually carried out, and remnants of the pots have been found associated with funeral ceremonies, to protect the dead. #Archaeology #Egyptology

Relief scene showing an individual wailing before a collection of smashed red pots. Another prepares a pile of offerings.

Check out this unfinished statue from the tomb of Tia. Chisel marks cover the surface. I absolutely love pieces like this that show the creation process. This would have become a a seated couple. #Archaeology #Egyptology

Offering bearers adding to the pile in the tomb of Horemhab. Just remnants of the colourful paint that once decorated these scenes remains. #Egyptology #Archaeology

Offering bearers carry offerings towards a heap for the tomb owner. Res paint remains on their bodies.

A stylized pike of offerings with bread loaves, a cow’s head and leg? And bouquets of flowers.

This is the first room about the history of beer from the Pilsner Urquell “experience” in Prague. I love it. The music playing is an interpretation of the hymn to Nikasa. Other goods to agriculture and beer included too! It was awesome. #Mesopotamia #Egyptology #Archaeology #Beer

I keep having to attend these too - three presentations so far that are basically, look at this fun tool for making syllabi - but also you have to pretty much only have in person assignments now, but remember that those are also bad for critical thinking and accessibility. Teachers - make it work!

No, papyrus plants don’t grow in the wild in Sumer, as far as I know. They used the giant reed - the Arundo donax. (Check the CDLI wiki for more: cdli.ox.ac.uk/wiki/doku.ph... ).
