Happy May Day!
Solidarity & Sunshine for all.
Y'all I just love the relief carvings on the grand tomb at Hili so very much.
I actually listened to the summary of @florencesn.bsky.social and mine's #chi2026 paper today and it is essentially 100% wrong in everything it says about the paper. I have to assume no-one at ACM used or tested this at any point. Good luck to anyone actually using these.
First lecture of the Bronze Age SE Arabia series tomorrow on landscapes and foodways. I also have a lecture/workshop in the Archaeology & AI module, where the students will play “and what remains” the world building card game before examining better ways to craft metadata.
As one does.
Archaeologist Carole Crumley talking about heterarchies, if you are looking to cite someone in addition to Mark Fisher wrt capitalist realism.
The ability to dream outside of hierarchies and the state should be taught by every archaeologist.
GOOD MORNING
