Life imitates art
Currently advertising: PhD project on Neolithic waste, based with Henny Piezonka. Project focuses on spatial analysis and the Neolithic. Deadline is 9th Feb. A chance to work with a cool range of sites from Serbia to Poland and you get to live in Berlin, so what's not to like! Link in next post.

I have put on paper some thoughts on why Central Europe's Neolithic was more diverse than broad narratives often suggest. Drawing on several case studies, I explore regions that developed along their own paths and deserve more attention from future research.

How much does it cost to share your own research freely?
Inspired by @laserhedvig.bsky.social I put together a spreadsheet overviewing APCs in several archaeology journals.
Turns out you can publish for free (zero APC) in a #DiamondOpenAccess journal with a similar Impact Factor (JIF).
