Conan Mills @archaeogiant.bsky.social · 30/01/2025As a "young" (time in the field not age) archaeologist, I gave my first guest lecture today on using Small Uncrewed Aircraft System (sUAS) in Archaeology. It was fun. I am still not super confident giving presentations though. I guess at some point I will work through that. 000

The monumental sets made for film remain as tourist sites. What messages continue for the public long after the images disappear from the screen? #archaeology #pseudoarchaeology #heritage #historicpreservation 0104

My name is Conan and I am working on my MA in Anthropology at Louisiana State University. Before I decided to go back to school to get my BA, I had a previous life doing something completely different. 140
Conan Mills @archaeogiant.bsky.social · 17/11/2024When the State Archaeologist asks for help, I have to answer. This is my second time on this site excavating test units.
