Come join our team in Exeter! We're looking for a Lecturer in Archaeology for a three year teaching post, focusing particularly on practical skills and fieldwork (closing date 30 June): careers.exeter.ac.uk/vacancies/95...
Definitely pre-ordering this! Cannot wait to read.
Now Bluesky seems to have returned to normal here is our special issue on Domestic and Funerary Archaeologies in Dialogue with World Archaeology.
Lots of really interesting perspectives on how to understand death mediated and found in domestic spaces.
Thanks to everyone involved!
A great summary thread on our recent special issue in CAJ on “Kinship Trouble”
This is such a lovely thread of posts about Cate and Carly's paper - if you are interested in archaeologies of kinship, that so often are informed by the context in which the dead have been mourned, this is one for you!
real question can someone explain to me in lay person terms why university finances work the way they do? You spend the first 9 months secretly bringing your own biscuits to meetings and the last 3 months over ordering the expensive pastries to spend the cash before the end of July.
Really delighted to be speaking to the Royal Archaeological Institute in York next April, giving the Talbot Green lecture. Will be attempting to blend a "prehistoric" cheese making demonstration with talking about how Neolithic diets trouble our assumptions about human history as progress. Join us!
