Marianne & I are deeply grateful to the good people of The Pipeline for giving us space to voice our views over what has been happening behind the scenes at the EAA. Please do give it a watch/listen and share widely - we feel it's important as many people as possible know the full story 🙏🏼

This month, UCLA admin circulated two white papers that are so harrowing they’ve kept me awake at night. If you’re a UCLA person and haven’t seen these, you really must. In response, the Faculty Senate has scheduled a Town Hall on June 2. senate.ucla.edu/news/june-2-...

We’re seeing the reemergence of academia as a sport of the leisure class.

Supported by the British Council and UK Government, the EAMENA project cannot be dismissed as activist agitprop, which makes its conclusions about the IDF's damage to heritage sites in Gaza all the more damning in a way which should provide food for thought for Archaeologists, not least the #EAA.

It is with deep sadness that Dr Marianne Moen and I resigned our positions as Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Archaeology this morning. What follows is the letter we sent to the EAA's executive board, outlining the reasons for our resignation 1/n

Do I know anyone who has ever done a post-doc part-time?

Weird time - a ton of people whom I always considered "young'uns" are defending their dissertations in the past weeks/ coming months. Including a former student! Starting to feel old (and proud). 👩‍🦳

The Ontario Science Centre - an experience of which generations of young Ontarians have now been robbed unfairly.

Admittedly, it is not the most beautiful of vessels. However, by depicting a funerary procession and rituals, the Catarinella Askos is one of the most fascinating painted pots from ancient southern Italy. It was quite fun to write about it. doi.org/10.1017/S104... #Archaeology 🏺

You probably know that ICE agents shot Renee Good. You should also know what happened next.

🚨 SAVE CLASSICS AND MEDIEVAL STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY! 🚨 University leadership has rejected an innovative new program developed by faculty in good faith, citing budget constraints. This decision would eliminate the Classics major at Calgary! Read more : 👉 www.cac-scec.ca/2026/01/supp...

"ICE has waged a recruitment drive drenched in war metaphors and martial imagery. The type of person sought...is someone with a fervor for guns and an eagerness to apply violence." Good work by @aselrod.bsky.social putting shooting in context of MAGA's violent ethos: www.ms.now/opinion/ice-...

This charming crab is waving goodbye to 2025. One of many marine images around a lost figure of Neptune (a wheel from his chariot survived) under what is now Gloucester House in Dyer Street, Cirencester. This image was the most popular of my #MosaicMonday offerings this year! #AncientBlueSky 🏺

For over 20 years, this system has regulated labour migration to #Italy while simultaneously enabling the structural exploitation of migrant workers.

Really want to read more for pleasure in 2026, but my pleasure-leisure time in 2025 was very focused on knitting... which also brings me great joy. I struggle a bit with audiobooks, but maybe it's the way to do both. Any tips for someone adjusting to audiobooks for the first time??

Reminder! The deadline for all CFPs is coming up on January 5th, 2026!

Nerdy and niche ask this morning but do I know any classicists/ archaeologists who are also knitters and make their own colourwork charts? I have a vision right now to make some motifs I see often in my research into charts... but not sure how to bring this to life...
