Got to visit #Cahokia, center of the Mississippian world. It was a city aligned to the movements of the sun and moon. Here’s the view from the top of Monk’s Mound (about 100 feet tall). #archaeology #northamericanarchaeology

Fish sauce was big business in the Roman Empire, and large-scale salting and preservation plants were set up on the coast for its fermentation. DNA evidence sheds light on which fish were being used to make the sauces. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy...

Musk talks about ancient aliens pseudoarchaeological junk, but it's not his only connection to the world of pseudoarchaeology - his racist and antisemitic grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, spent a lot of time in the 1950s searching for an allegedly grand lost city in the Kahalari desert.

earlier this year a Swedish archaeologist launched an ad hominem attack on me in the International Journal of Cultural Property I'm grateful to the editors for inviting my right to reply—and the opportunity to correct the record www.academia.edu/144803887/On... or www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
On "Distorting History" - a reply to Staffan Lundén 
Earlier this year a Swedish archaeologist based at Gothenburg University’s Centre for Critical Heritage Studies published an unfounded ad hominem attack on me in the pages of the International
Journal of Cultural Property. I am grateful to the editors for this right to reply to Staffan Lundén’s wholly spurious claims, and order to correct the record. Despite its provocative, “clickbait” title, not one substantive mistake or incorrect fact was identified in Lundén’s article in my book “The Brutish Museums”. The motivation for Lundén’s serial accusations against colleagues with whose scholarship on the history of the Benin Expedition he disagrees - from curators at the British Museum to members of the Royal Court of Benin - is discussed. In conclusion,
the allegation that my book The Brutish Museums is “part of a trend away from pro-British perspectives” is contextualised and refuted. On the contrary, this reply argues, openness and transparency about the colonial past and present is a key element of the reclamation and
reimagining of Britishness that is unfolding in the 2020s – this unfinished period that the book calls “the decade of returns”.

Time to update your Palaeolithic palettes... 🔵 Very proud to share our new research on the OLDEST use of blue pigment! We identified traces of azurite - a vibrant blue mineral - on a stone object around 14-13,000 years old. Why is this so exciting? 👇🏺 doi.org/10.15184/aqy...
Close-up image of a sand coloured stone, with a diagonal crack. The sand rock has a textured surface, and small spots of blue can be seen towards the centre of the stone. The background is grey.Microscopic photo of the blue spots, that are irregular in shape and size and positioned diagonally across the image. The rest of the photo shows the rough sand coloured texture of the stone.
