🚨 New paper! 🦪 Is our archaeological data skewed by taphonomic process? 🦪 How do we move towards more nuanced approaches to morphometric studies? 🦪How can archaeologists make our studies relevant to modern socioecological research? Have a read! 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🔬🏺We have an Anthropology Day alumni event coming up, and our development team made these great templates for us to showcase our labs. Had a lot of fun distilling the key contributions of the SAHND Lab here at Penn State! #archaeology #ecology #history

Lab flyer for the Spatial Archaeology and Historical Network Dynamics lab. Illustrating three key areas of research: Native American politics, Gullah/Geechee societies, and central Asian empires.

🚨Out today in Science Advances! It is more important than ever to understand the roots and historical breadth of the core features of democratic institutions and autocratic alternatives, what these practices are associated with, and their effects and consequences. 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

9 years ago. Excavating shell midden at Pineland along the Gulf Coast of southwestern Florida #archaeology #ecology

An archaeologist excavating in a trench. He’s kneeled down and the trench is higher than him. The bottom of the trench is covered in water as it is deeper than the height of the water table.

Stay tuned for our forthcoming paper demonstrating a key link between more autocratic forms of governance and a reliance on external financing. Also see Blanton et al. 2021 on the topic of financing (www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1...): (see passage below) #archaeology #economics #polisci

Had a great time presenting on some of our recent work on early Indigenous-Spanish encounters this past weekend! #archaeology #history #ethnohistory

Title slide for presentation: A micro history of an ancestral Muskogean town in southern Appalachia

Slide showing a slice of wood of a preserved house post. There are three stars on the post at different tree rings. Showing how multiple ages from a single post can be used to achieve a single high resolution age.

A map of the King site on the left indicating houses that were data. On the right is the total chronological model for the town.

Psyched to be back home for our group’s two day mind-meld on chronology building, Indigenous histories, and colonial encounters in the southeast! #archaeology #history #ethnohistory

Jake Holland-Lulewicz @archaeojake.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

How can we place Indigenous presence and colonial encounters in absolute time? How can we see beyond Spanish descriptions into the landscapes that contextualized encounters? How do we transcend the archaeology-history divide to understand the impacts and outcomes of encounters? #archaeology #history

They run these pastures. Back in Georgia for the holidays ♥️ 🖤

Hauling more dirt to @cmcarolus.bsky.social. I think we floted more per volume excavated than any site ever 🏅 Which has allowed us to recover incredible amounts of seeds and tiny bone. Data that rarely factor into narratives on the Xiongnu, the world’s first nomadic empire! Stay tuned! #archaeology

On our way home. MASSIVE shout out to @cmcarolus.bsky.social and Asa Cameron. They’re doing world class, game changing, groundbreaking research out here. Jazzed to be able to contribute to their new project. Psyched for them to hang at Penn State for the next few years AND to get back to Mongolia! 🇲🇳

So we had our own camp Naadam. As per tradition, all men had to wrestle in a tournament….including yours truly. Series title: The Anthropologist #anthropology #archaeology

Naadam (the national holiday) isn’t for a few more weeks, but a local community hosted their festivities today! Featuring: 25km horse races (kids only!; we have been watching them train, zooming past camp all week), wrestling, and khuushuur (a delicious fried dough pocket filled with mutton 🤤)

We are super lucky to be working with Dr. Jargalan Burentogtokh and his undergraduate students from the National University of Mongolia! Today they are learning how to map, draw, and excavate features. #archaeology

If anyone was looking for a bedazzled image of a huge black stallion in front of an equally bedazzled ger under the full moon, the Ochir Market in Khulunbuir has one in stock.
