Happy International #womensday2026 Jona asked whether we wanted to do a post for Women's Day, and I said yes. "What about this person?" she asked. "Well, great, but I thought about us two?!" Of course, she was right. Two women in archaeology is a great reason to celebrate. 🎉 #womeninarchaeology

Stefanie’s archaeology journal - Chios Kore It’s meditative to finish the journal up with colours. Here, Stefanie decided to not draw the face (has definitely nothing to do with the lack of skill🫣😂) and still, the drawing “works” What do you think? #archaeologyjournal #objectbiographies #kore

Same object as last week, but a different approach. This is the beauty of #archaeologyjournaling 🤩 No two journal entries are the same. Stefanie is quite proud of this one as it actually resembles the object 😂 Check episode 5 ☺️ #objectbiographies #archaeology #herculaneum #romancradle

#onthisday On 17 December 2024, we met up for the first time in a café in Amsterdam. Before, we only knew each other from Instagram and had talked here and there, but then Jona moved to Amsterdam! We chatted for hours, had coffee and almost right there and then "Things We Threw Away" was born!

Here’s Stefanie’s first attempt at archaeology journaling. The object is centre stage, but there is less information on the page. Stefanie added some leaflets from the museum, including a floor plan. It is a work in progress! #provenanceisnotaregioninfrance #twta #podcast #archaeologypodcast

Before episode 3 of Things We Threw Away is released in a week's time, how about we play a guessing game? In the upcoming episode, we will be talking about an object, but can you guess which one? There is a hint in the shadow drawing Jona did. Here's another hint: We went on a field trip!

A collage shows a map of France, with the location of the Lascaux cave marked in the Dordogne region, next to another map showing the Lascaux cave system with names of each of the artistic panels and marking the Hall of the Bulls where the other two images show some impressions to tie into the second story in the podcast episode.

A visual story of the 1940 discovery of the Lascaux cave paintings. The top shows a black-and-white photo of four boys at the entrance of the cave, with an arrow identifying Marcel. Below, a photo from 1986 shows the now-adult discoverers—Marcel, Simon, George, and Jacques—posing in front of the cave entrance. The background is gridded paper with handwritten-style annotations, evoking a personal archive or memory book.

A collage introducing Ben Bacon’s research on Paleolithic cave art. At the top left, a photo shows Bacon, an older man in a striped shirt and glasses, studying drawings at a table. Below him, four cropped images of cave paintings are highlighted with circles, showing dots, lines, and Y-shaped marks near animal figures. Text on the background reads “Story 2: Ben Bacon’s Discovery” and “he noticed dots, lines and y-shapes,” illustrating his observations. The layout is on crumpled grid paper, with digital tape adding a scrapbook feel.
