A large archaeological feature, probably a pit, quarry or working hollow, filled with dark grey, charcoal-filled soil, at the edge of the area of investigation
The main rule of excavation is, however big the area of investigation, there's always an interesting archaeological feature disappearing under the edge of the trench

Looking forward to reading this one!
Israel has obliterated the mausoleum of Simon Peter, the Apostle of Christ, in Shama, southern Lebanon.
A sacred site that has stood for over 2,000 years, now lies in ruins.
This is not βself-defenseβ.
This is a war crime and a crime against history.
A really exciting site, and pleasure to be part of such a wonderful team!
Since I missed #NationalIllustrationDay2024 , here is my contribution - a selection of unpainted late 4th millennium Uruk sherds from Kani Shaie, #Kurdistan and some beautiful painted cups from the early 3rd millennium there. A lot changed in only 300 years! #archaeology

Really makes me happy to see the #archaeology community reassembling here after a far too long hiatus!
ππ»right back at you! Lovely to see you here !
My research looks at the transition between the 4th and 3rd millennium BCE in northern Mesopotamia and the major changes therein. Particularly I focus on changes in pottery production and culinary practices, and what this suggests about learning networks and human adaptation during this period
A brief introduction to me and my research, and throw-back to an exciting summer of Early Bronze Age #archaeology at Kani Shaie, #Kurdistan
