Digital interpretation of deer motif
Had a great day visiting the rock art site Bingsfoss in Lillestrøm today, inspecting some VERY interesting antlers up close!

As a Palestinian archaeologist, I fully endorse the AAA campaign. For me, this struggle is both professional and personal. Archaeology should be a discipline of care, justice, and truth, yet in Palestine it is repeatedly mobilised to dispossess and dehumanise us as Palestinians; co-opted by Israel as a weapon of erasure, it is used to legitimise settler colonialism and oc-cupation, justify apartheid, and deny the Palestinian people their history and their future. Our archaeological and historical sites are destroyed or appropriated, our heritage looted, and our landscapes trans-formed to erase Palestinian memory. This is part of the same system of violence that demolishes homes, uproots families, and now carries out genocide in Gaza. This campaign is vital because it demands accountability. It insists archaeologists not remain silent or complicit, and that our discipline stand against apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and cultural genocide. I urge colleagues worldwide to endorse this campaign and to ensure archaeology serves justice, dignity, and liberation—not oppression, to join AAA, cut ties and boycott complicit institutions and in-dividuals. Silence is complicity. Prof. Mahmoud Hawari
We are honored to have the endorsement of Professor Mahmoud Hawari of Bethlehem University, Palestine, for the Archaeologists Against Apartheid campaign in support of the Palestinian people. forms.gle/m8De7pW2oG4K... #archaeology #eaa2025 #🏺
The EAA shameful soap opera continues. The local organising committee in Serbia was not consulted or involved in the email sent to the students who were tasked with banning any dissent from established scholars (!).
The EAA Executive Board Officers need to resign NOW.

🏺 Still reads like @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social is trying to keep their “precious places” apolitical - and very telling that “politics” and “archaeology” is being kept far apart, as though the two don’t naturally interweave!
I hope comrades at #EAA2025 are able to make their voices heard about this
Last day at #KielScales25! Yrja Skioerum passionately talked to us about the amazing encounters and relationships between human and red deer depicted on Scandinavian rock art.
