The 19th century Struve Geodetic Arc is, to me, one of the most extraordinary properties on the World Heritage List. It crosses 10 countries and was used to determine the size and shape of the world. 🧪 🏺 #ContemporaryArchaeology

A fascinating new publication: The Plastics Age: An archaeology of our time, a cross-disciplinary approach to create an overarching theory of how and in what ways plastics are forming an archaeological record.

Technically, I believe this should be appearing in Bluesky via @ghost.org 6.0 without me having to do this. It does in mastodon. But I’m not seeing my ghost handle pop up when I search for it.

Downward dog. A sea-worn Rocky from the Paw Patrol Aqua Pups range if we're not very much mistaken, appropriately sporting his green Aqua Pups wetsuit, with fish-scale details and divers’ helmet. 🤓

Screenshot of post with two white plastic double ended spoons (2.5ml and 5ml) displayed on a cork board with a typed display label “early 21st century, exact use uncertain but probably used for rituals or as votive offerings” . Post itself reads: A pair of old spoons from Moley's collection: Isotopic confirmation of food traces shows Nutella formed part of the diet, suggesting a close connection to continental trade.
Spoons turned up from Moley’s collection drawer: One theory is that they were used by shaman as a primitive medicinal dispenser (before the widespread introduction of the Calpol syringe) but my informed opinion is it’s for eating chocolate hazelnut spread in measured doses.
