Pretty usual for Tallinn, especially early mornings or late evenings and off season but they’ve just edited out all the signs - no free publicity by Windows I guess haha. But you can come and check it out next year at PMAC - the old town tour goes right through this street!

But my god, I am trying to piece together the contexts of thimbles from 55 digs & it is taking me literally days on end & it'd take even longer if we hadn't put together gis.tallinn.ee/arheoloogia/ (also why I'm very aware of the general level - I've gone through all the reports on that dataset)

Admittedly, I am dealing with older reports again and I know it is partially down to tradition being that you just stripped the top or all of the postmed off... awareness about #postmedieval #archaeology has gotten slightly better

Dr Monika Reppo @chronicamonika.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
How hard is it to present information about layers & structures so that I don't have to surf through the entire report to piece together information? With every expert report and every piece of grey literature, my frustration grows...apparently today, my frustration is international (hence English).

Dr Monika Reppo @chronicamonika.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Found three cellars, one of them was older than the others, all postmed... okay cool but what's the date?! Just ballpark it, even date of disuse would suffice. 16th? 17th? 18th? 19th? 20th century? I would even settle for it only being mentioned in the summary
120
Dr Monika Reppo @chronicamonika.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
My favourite genre of reports of post-medieval sites in Estonia are the ones that absolutely refuse to date any structure despite COPIOUS amounts of finds AND written information/maps about the development of the plot

A great article on biomolecular #archaeology in the Baltics has been just published by Ester Oras (IMHO one of the most outstanding archaeologists from Estonia today). How does novel science happen if your institution is non-central/non-western & has limited resources & staff? What are the benefits?

within said field are even more niche (honestly, a whole other can of worms but everything is niche when you have less than 80 #archaeologists actively publishing in your country). Admittedly, I am not inundated with revision requests but my experience so far has been positive

Dr Monika Reppo @chronicamonika.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Alright, I know the academic reviewing system is a bit insane BUT I have to admit, as an #earlycareerresearcher I am quite keen to review articles that are a good fit for my profile. I feel it makes me a better writer & introduces me to new ideas, particularly as my local field is TINY & my topics

Tegelikult infokirjad ja Google Scholari asjad on ka muidugi tööga seotud, seega natuke nokk kinni, saba lahti olukord

Mulle meeldib infokirju lugeda-sirvida (väga) ja mul on mitu Google Scholar otsiagenti sisse lülitatud, aga kui peale väga lühikest puhkust arvuti taha naastes (4 tööpäeva) on ühes postkastis 120 ja teises 30 uut kirja ja päris otseselt tööd puudutavaid kirju on vaid 5-6... hmm

We hunted colours in #Gdańsk on Sunday & I picked green. A few minutes later I stumbled upon these green novelty socks with Marie Skłodowska-Curie on them. Oddly fitting as I planned my weekend getaway to fall on the dates directly after the #MSCA deadline. Pricey, but I obviously had to get them

Parandan ja parandan ja parandan ja parandan seda MSCA taotlust (järeldoktorantuur), natuke nagu lõputu küünlapäev, aga tegelikult näeb juba päris ilus välja ja lõhki pole ka kirjutatud (kõige olulisemal osal on max 10 lk), AGA parandusi on ikka veel ees terve päeva-kahe jagu

Thank you - with a historically low success rate for MSCA applications last year, I will need all the luck I can get!

Dr Monika Reppo @chronicamonika.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I guess there really are even more applicants this year than there were last year. Mind you, success rate for MSCA European Fellowships was 16.68% in 2024 (9,303 applicants) & 9.4% in 2025 (15,828 applicants) - hasn't wavered my optimism [will report back in a few days]

oh boyyy I know they said to expect the system to crash on the day but there is still two weeks to go & my #MSCA application draft is not fully loading on the portal anymore Glad I filled in most of part A already but really wanted to finish it today - a capella it is (prep it in Word & copy later)

I have saved searches so I get notified any time some obscure history or archaeology book gets put on sale & quite often they end up being cheaper than elsewhere because, as you said, people associate it with second hand clothes not books haha

I received this RG back in 2020 just as everything went into lockdown - @postmedarch.bsky.social was so flexible & I was able to shift things around & ended up discovering a long-lost document at the National Archives of Estonia which has now been given its own accession number: EAA.1850.1.1125a!

To make myself acutely aware of how quickly time passes, I set a bunch of calendar notifications on the #MSCA deadline at random points this summer. Although I'm fully aware it is September 9, I get a jolt each time one pops up which, funnily enough, is actually quite motivating

Happevabade lehtedega ja eriti ajalooliste fotode puhul ilma kiletaskuteta (võivad kinni kleepuda pildipoolse küljega kile vastu), lehtedele kinnitamiseks müüakse fotonurkasid, mis aitab ka 10x15 formaadist fotode paremale säilitamisele kaasa

Põhjuseid mitmeid: kui fotosid hoida hunnikus, siis tint kandub alumistele piltidele, lisaks võib tindi koostis (ajas) reageerida või läbi pildi imbuda, laiali minna, teravamad pastakad ja tugevama käega kirjutajad võivad liiga sügavale foto sisse suruda ja teksti reljeef jääb pildi esiküljel näha
031
Dr Monika Reppo @chronicamonika.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
Kellel veel vanemate-vanavanemate juurde asja, siis võite piltidele pilgu peale visata ja ka mõtiskleda, et kas keegi kunagi teab, kes piltidel on, st kas albumites või pildi taga on midagi kirjas ka

Muidugi oli selliseid pilte ka, kus ma polnud kindel, et kas tunnen ära (ma tean rohkem IIMS-eelseid kui järgseid nägusid). Panin siis isa fakti ette ja lasin tal eile määrata. Kirjutasime harilikuga (!) taha ja natuke konteksti ka, sest ta mäletas ka sûndmusi jms (!) palun ära pastakaga kirjuta
