    . Channel: what have you found at your archaeological site? Archaeologists: History itself! Walls, pots, bones.. H: Spooky bones? A: Nah, food trash H: Pretty pots? A: They're broken into fragments H: Ooh, big walls? A: A series of small walls H: Aliens! 👽 A: 🤦‍♂️

    Not on a body, but this is a single gazelle skin made into mesh as an undergarment/sportswear for a Nubian hunter. Featured at the MFA this past season

  5. LOL sure. but then again, remember much of what archaeology has is that "Sunday best" More effort was put into the things that mattered and that effort made them more durable (monuments, rich ppls houses), protected (burials, votive deposits), and memorable (texts copied for us)

  6. Actually the right amount of fire prevents carbonized organics (not completely burned to ash) from decaying It's how plant remains survive at most sites b/c thousands get charred for various reasons: part of dung/fuel, disposal in dying fire, accidentally dropped near fire, etc

  7. While true, we'd still expect to find textiles or sandals in burials And we do. Bronze helps organics survive (and also stains bones bright green). So, burials w/ bronze often have evidence for leather and textiles. Theyre usually smaller fragments (not a whole sandal or shirt)

  8. hah we actually don't find many sandals! Leather doesn't really preserve in most contexts. Other than art, hobnails might be the best indication for sandals Check out the finds from Simon the Cobbler's workshop in the Athenian Agora (via )

    A British news outlet asked me on the phone recently, wanting my insights as to whether there've been any new discoveries of vampire or mermaid skeletons lately... 😅

    According to Seneca, the earthquake that shook the Vesuvian area happened today in AD63. In his description he reassures the reader that a flock of 600 sheep that died on Vesuvius didn’t die of fear but of exposure to lethal gases.

  12. The more I think about it, this might represent an alphabetical bias, perhaps in media reports listing candidates (which is a real thing in elections: ) It demonstrates just how much unconscious biases, from alphabet to race to gender, affect our elections

  14. So, what's up with all the B-list presidential candidates this year? Bernie, Biden, Buttigieg, Bloomberg Even those that are gone: Beto, Booker, Bennet, Brown, Bullock Can we get some alphabetical diversity (tho I'd prefer other types of diversity tbh)

    Post caucus, Mayor Pete declared victory, team Sanders trashed Pete and the DNC, and Elizabeth Warren spent 20 minutes just bodying Trump and kicking him in the teeth repeatedly and then thanked her dog. Which is why I like Warren.

    Honestly the campaign is the only one that has not pissed me off about the since last night. Thanks for being responsible, productive and helpful, and not engaging in hyperbolic conspiracy mongering or finger pointing.

  17. I'm guessing that's because potato leaves and flowers resemble nightshade, a terrible poison used in magic spells (sometimes to communicate with daimons)

  18. Argh... just missed the Marie Curie. A 90.2% and on the reserve list... I guess fingers crossed but no holding breath allowed I need something for next year. Send me teaching or postdoc ads in my fields (archaeology, classics, anthro, history). I don't wanna miss something good

    One of the best things in Athens is that while walking from point A to point B, you get to experience thousands of years of history every few steps 1/8
