A truly stupid piece that I’m shocked was actually published. And if you think settler colonizer is an insult, maybe you’re the one with the guilty conscience.

Against Guilty History
Settler-colonial should be a description, not an insult.

The lethal historical origins of the term dead-line. Did you know that US #CivilWar POW camps were likely where 'deadlines' originated? In this clip, Dr. @ryankmcnutt.bsky.social explains their very literal and deadly origin to me. 📺 youtu.be/Pce6qFBOjoE?...

Lost Cause commemoration for 2nd Manassas. Interesting that the first flag is official first flag of the Confederacy, but personal commemoration for Tennessee still clings to the battle flag.

Some of my favorite artifacts from the SEAC tour of Jamestown. Starting off with the this wee 1st/2nd century Roman oil lamp. Curation of past objects in the past. historicjamestowne.org/collections/...

Maybe it’s post election doldrums, but I’ve never seen a class less interested during a discussion of race, class and gender than today’s.

Happy to have been a part of this session at #SEAC24 honoring the man who got me into archaeology. Who once recited the entirety of the Riddle of Strider while I was excavating a feature at field school. Hence the title . . . I wandered far from Kevin’s research foci, but his legacy is his impact

Hair raising! 💈🦰 Some fantastic Viking-Age or Late Norse combs from Shetland, at Shetland Museum and Archives. Do read @grungeviking.bsky.social's 'Small Finds, Big Questions: Two Decades of Research on Combs in Viking-Age Scotland' in the EUP book, The #Viking Age in Scotland, which I co-edited!

You have no grave, no cross but you did die. Maybe in some dark thicket your bones lie Or you were sunk in swamp in deep of night, Or Cossacks cruelly robbed you of the light. And when it was and where and how …and why I know not: death in forest does not cry. You are a skull now white bleached by
