And…that’s a wrap. ASOR Board of Trustees meeting is over, so #asor24 / #asor2024 is officially done and in the books. Heading home now and planning to sleep for a week…

I have been informed at #asor24 that the IDF soldier also killed in this incident is the son of Israeli archaeologist Ron Kehati, a former dig colleague of mine at Tell es-Safi.

Sold out crowd! Ending #ASOR24 with a packed room!

Not lapis-lazuli. Just a dark blue coloured boulder.

Picture my excitement 😃 as I approached. And then picture my reaction when I had a closer look 😭😭 - it’s obv not lapis-lazuli. Just a dark blue coloured fake boulder with metallic-looking patches. Come on! #ASOR24

A dark blue coloured boulder affixed to a wall.

Made my way down to the Mesopotamia session at #ASOR24 today and my eyes caught sight of a large dark-blue coloured boulder affixed to a wall today 👀⬇️. Could it be?

It's an exciting time for archaeology in the Assyrian heartland! #asor24

A huge "thank you" to the organizers, all of the speakers, and the attendees who filled the room (SRO) at 8:15 am for this morning's "After 1177 BC" session -- very thoughtful papers and a delightful atmosphere to begin the ASOR meetings!

ASOR 2024 Annual Meeting ASOR's 2024 hybrid Annual Meeting will take place Nov 20-23 at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza and online. #ASOR24

I wish that #ASOR24 and #SBLAAR24 weren't on opposite coasts this year. I get the reasons, but there is no way I can swing Boston and San Diego in a single week. I've got commitments at SBL this year, so San Diego it is. Happy conferencing, all, wherever you are!

Today I learned: 4% of animal bones from food remains at Girsu are from dogs. #asor24

/2 A personal highlight here was Mireille Lee’s talk on making research on unprovenienced artefacts more transparent. Looking forward to hearing more about their MAPRA project in the years to come. #ASOR24

Enjoyed some wonderful talks at #ASOR24 this morning on the topic of Cultural Heritage. Great questions by the audience around stakeholders, increasing accessibility and source community involvement in all decisions/research/events./1

#asor24 be like (because of the amazing program)

My new favorite tie!! #ASOR24

James Osborne kicks things off in the “After 1177 BC” session at #ASOR24

I don’t like big academia meetings (or any academic meetings or any meetings), but #ASOR24 (or is it #ASOR2024) is ok. I’m also pretty sure that I’ll be late for my first meeting today. In line. For coffee.
