In a world dominated by AI & disinformation, I expect we will see a major pendulum swing culturally. People will crave authenticity and reality over deep fakes and conspiracist lies
I'm here for it, sharing #RealArchaeology
Aaaaah, new Time Team episode. I'm interested in archaeology and I'm lucky I've been on few digs myself.

Two possible Niwaskw Gwinapskol (Spirit Stones of high importance in Abenaki) found in Vermont’s Green Mountains—one beside the Appalachian Trail, another near a springhead. OSL dating suggests sacred sites cared for by Native peoples before colonization. #RealArchaeology #Vermont
How cool is #RealArchaeology? 🏺
Well, it's "we can track down oral human & environmental #DNA from #Neolithic birch #tar which had been chewed thousands of years ago, telling us about Stone Age diet & what this tar was used for" cool. 🙌

Some really good introduction and overview here by David Connolly into and onto the pitfalls and misconceptions of #pseudoarchaeology - and the insight #RealArchaeology can offer in contrast:

We encourage a curious approach to the past, using archaeology, while warning against the worst excesses of pseudoarchaeology and also accepting the value of open-minded inquiry. Embark on a journey to better understand humanity’s past. Lose yourself in #RealArchaeology www.bajr.org/raiders-of-m...
I figured the ferromanganese would turn brown & I am ecstatic that it did. As noted before, manganese dioxide turns brown, black or shades of pink to bright purple in modern ceramics. I'm disappointed the gray glauconite didn't stay gray, but tan is useable. #ceramics #archaeology #RealArchaeology
4 panes showing the noted results on red jasper with colorless & black inclusions in the matrix
Definitely a slight luster change from the unmodified (1) to the thermally altered (2-4) grainy red jasper. Thermal alteration (heat treating) can result in:
a) No change
b) Change in color, not luster
c) Change in luster, not color
d) Change in both color & luster

Discovery Expedition S15E5 TREASURE OF THE PIRATE QUEEN WED JULY 16, 2025 Josh BRAVES the South Carolina swamps to search for the lost treasure of Anne Bonny. The Pirate Queen used her wits, beauty and daring to steal millions in booty. (SHE ROBBED FUCKING FISHING BOATS WITH HER BOYFRIEND!!!!!) While recovering coins, Josh may have unearthed Anne's Secret trading post. (THAT A FUCKING CHARLESTON HISTORIAN AND FOLKLORIST NEVER HEARD OF!!!!)
What can kick me out of a depression? A pirate BS debunking video. On July 16th, Josh Gates gets to talk about a pirate who robbed fishing boats. I spoke to the local expert who was recruited only for acting and not for his historical knowledge. Oh boy, this is going to be fun. #realarchaeology

Thanks so much for inviting me to be part of the #RealArchaeology festival! It was so inspiring to learn from the range of archaeologists + science and history communicators taking part in the festival!
Fantastic conversation with Dr Hannah Moots @mootspoints.bsky.social about her research into the genetics of ancient Rome, and the misinterpretations that exist on social media

An image of a petrified wood stone resembling a human head in profile, facing right. The stone features bas-relief iconography on its front-facing surfaces, depicting several schools of fish. The material is identified as petrified wood from a rip-rap pile found in Lyons, Colorado. The text is presented below the stone with the title "The Fisherman" and a description of the stone’s features. The photograph is credited to Ken Meyerson with the social media handle @PortableRockArt.
A close-up photograph of a piece of petrified wood, showing intricate carvings and patterns on the stone’s surface. The textures and lines suggest deliberate shaping, with visible edges and reliefs along the stone. The colors range from light brown to darker shades, with traces of wear, enhancing the detailed carvings. The background is black, drawing focus to the detailed craftsmanship and unique formation of the stone.

'The Fisherman' depicts a man with an elongated forehead facing right, plus bas-relief carvings of a school of fish. Possibly used as an anvil, everything else is rock art.
Material is common petrified wood from Lyons, CO.
