    day 31 = Why archaeology? Because the world outside is filled with amazing places & peoples with stories worth telling. The community in this postcard was destroyed by a distant city to take their water. Where does your water come from? And at what cost?

    Why Archaeology? Every year my understanding of what archaeology is changes and every year I love it even more ♥️ Archaeology is at its best when it draws connections, serves descendent communities, and challenges Western ideas of what it means to be human

    Why archaeology? Perhaps because in a teeny roundel (bottom right) we can see the hesitant marks and not quite precise pattern of an apprentice told, 'Right, you've watched me do three, now you can do the last one. Be careful now.'

    Day 31: Why Archaeology? Interdisciplinary methods (e.g., archaeobotany, GIS, etc.) can reveal data that isn't always apparent during initial fieldwork. Matching a method to a question about past life is a challenge I enjoy and a big part of my 'Why?'🤠

    31: why archaeology? I got into it because I was (and am) interested in the lives of ordinary people, not elites, and archaeology shows us where they lived, what they ate, and where they bought and sold things. Here, a waitress brings drinks in Pompeii:

    Day 31: Why archaeology? Because from the day seven year old me stood staring into my first real-life trench, quizzing the archaeologist inside about the amphora sticking out of his section, this is all I’ve ever wanted to do. I love it. It’s my life.

    Why archaeology? I don't think I could ever do anything else. I'm made for it. If you cut me open I'm fairly sure it says "osteoarchaeologist" in there like a stick of rock (also very sure no other profession would have me)

    A replica Neolithic flint-bladed sickle. The handle is partly based on an existing example from Central Europe. Sickle blades are particularly painful to make as they often snap during the last few flakes
