Remember how Star Trek's Captain Jean-Luc Piccard is an archaeologist? He followed in Trowelblazing footsteps, Jaquetta Hawkes, who scripted this distopian "what if" for the BBC in 1962. Watching this it's important to remember Monitor was the BBC's leading, prime time, arts and culture programme.

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct." Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

“Race does not provide an accurate representation of human biological variation,” the statement reads. “Humans are not divided biologically into distinct continental types or racial genetic clusters. Instead, the Western concept of race must be understood as a classification system that emerged from, and in support of, European colonialism, oppression, and discrimination.”

“It thus does not have its roots in biological reality, but in policies of discrimination,” the statement says. “Because of that, over the last five centuries, race has become a social reality that structures societies and how we experience the world. In this regard, race is real, as is racism, and both have real biological consequences.”

New CfP: @librarianchef.bsky.social and I are looking to draw together a variety of folks (not limited to just archaeologists) who are interested in writing about pseudoarchaeology & the ways pseudoarch is used/appears in the world! See our call below, dm or email me or Robert with any questions! 🏺

A lenghtly call for papers for an edited book drawn together by myself and Robert Spinelli. We're looking for discussions on all the different ways pseudoarchaeology can be used, or how it appears, for example its appearance on social media or in pop culture, how it is used towards far-right extremism, pseudoarchaeological explanations of human origins, etc. We are not looking for strictly debunking chapters, we are more interested in looking beyond debunking. Email myself at halmhofe@ualberta.ca or Robert at rspinelli@ncis.org for more questions or submissions. 250 word Proposals and short author bios due by May 5, with selected authors contacted by June 5. Chapters of 5000-7000 words due Dec 31st.

Heritage friends, this is a good time to consider whether your content is actually 'inspiring' or a 'timeline cleanse' just because it's old. Heritage is not anodyne, feel good stuff. 'lovely' objects displayed in museums 1000s of miles from where they were found; items celebrating war/conquest >

Should these pages come back, pay careful attention to the changes that have been made & how they are being used to construct a fantasized, national identity. Heritage, incl. history, are powerful parts of identity, & they are going to be rewritten into fantasized, & likely nativist, narratives.

It seems like a good time to re-introduce myself in a little archaeology thread. 🏺 I started in the Mediterranean, working on interaction between Greeks and other groups, especially in Sicily. I used Greek pottery to understand how people defined their identity. But then I got interested in space.

Desde el Colegio de Graduados de Antropología repudiamos las declaraciones del vocero presidencial realizadas el 14 de noviembre, en las que descalificó sin fundamentos el impacto social de proyectos de investigación financiados por el Estado.

Sometimes we see fossils in stone artefacts, but rarely are the specimens as perfect as this echinoid, exposed in a flint flake knapped by an early Neanderthal 480,000 years ago. In this case it was left behind with other waste flakes, but was it noticed? did they have a name for them? #FlintFriday
