It was also my first time using such bright colors—but they were for friends with equally bright personalities, so it only felt right! ✨

It was a (very late) wedding gift for a dear friend, featuring wildflowers native to her and her husband's home states.

Bringing a little lightness to the thread—literally! 🪡 I finished one of my all-time favorite embroidery projects about a month ago.

Thanks!

Oh, and I’m learning to throw my own #ceramics too—wish me luck! 🎨🌀

Sometimes my projects accidentally go full archaeologist, like this tote bag featuring Early Iron Age ceramics from Crete. 🏺🖤

Outside of archaeology, I'm all about crafting - especially #embroidery! ✨

Hello world, we are @reverseaction.bsky.social, an ERC-funded project on #archaeology, #science, #technology, #crafts, #luxury… and #collectiveaction. Allow us to introduce our project. And maybe you can follow and repost? 👀🥼

Also shout out to my fantastic colleague @justalittleroo.bsky.social for providing this intro template!

Please share your #archaeology, #science and #geology accounts to I can build my BlueSky community!!!

Now I am a postdoc on the ERC-funded REVERSEACTION Project, studying pre-Hispanic ceramics from Colombia to investigated collective action and the production of complex technologies in stateless societies

Some of my research looks at the #SilkRoads 🐪 reverse engineering ancient ceramic technologies through archaeometry to study how technological knowledge was developed, transmitted, adopted, and adapted by people in the past

Hi I am Kate, and #archaeologicalscience researcher from the US, now based at Uni of Cambridge and new to BlueSky 🦋! I have a background in archaeology/ anthropology and chemistry/materials science, and I study all things ceramics 🏺
