This is so exciting! My immense thanks and gratitude to this army of public archaeologists for contributing their time, expertise, and experience to help make this book happen! We can only improve public archaeology by learning from and collaborating with each other 🫶🏺 #pubarch
Got an email from an ECR that's lifting me up just as I need it most! The youths are making me hopeful for #pubarch "I was able to finish your public archaeology book over the weekend and I really loved it. It helped me narrow down what it is I would like to do with my career." tinyurl.com/4dwfmt2b
#Archaeology / #pubarch community: does your org have handout/conference swag photo scales?
I could use *lots* to hand out to the lovely neighbors who send along documentation of the chemical weapons used in our community. I have a few but they're easy to lose track of & lots of diffuse helpers.
My hand holding out a blue hardback book with two men making a round wood object on the cover. It is titled 'Collaborative and Community-Engaged Archaeology', edited by Carolyn D. Dillian, Katie Stringer Clary, amd Charles A. Bello. My black cat Giles is sitting on the floor below the book with one yellow eye showing.
It's me! I have strawberry blonde hair with cropped blunt bangs, and a grown out french bob with loose curles. I'm grinning at the camera, wearing orange rimmed glasses. My book is open and close to the screen, showing off the title of my chapter. "Chapter 12: Community Archaeology and Burial Landscapes in New Perlican, Newfoundland and Labrador".
So excited to receive my contributor copy of @drmaryclary.bsky.social & @carolyndillian.bsky.social 's new edited volume! My first PhD work to see publication is inside! 😍🏺 #Pubarch #archaeology #publication
Some things about #pubarch still get me a little, maybe in part because I don't experience it as much now since I am less used to discussing archaeology day to day.
Archaeologists, many of us are at or beyond capacity with FIRST LEGO requests. The kids will soon move from general Q&A to needing specific feedback on their team projects, and they'll want some one on one time for that. If you can do ONE zoom, it makes a huge difference! #pubarch 🏺
Got 4 days to write a zoomable tech oriented #archaeology #pubarch PowerPoint thing for some youths i connected with via @skypeascientist.bsky.social... trying to get the thin but persistent layer of rust off my teacher brain!
Archaeologists: you've likely been getting some confusing emails! To clarify, these kids are NOT creating robots to do any sort of real field/lab work. The theme guides their research: learning keywords, chatting with professionals, citing reliable sources. They're looking for mentorship! 🏺 #pubarch

Our crack team are hard at work opening up test pits today as part of the Dig The Castle project! We are digging in the back gardens of some very kind members of the local community, so they can see archaeology in action close up.

You can also watch the video playlist version of the EB Hwy 30 bridge story! It introduces the #NRHP, the basics of historical bridge construction & design, & notable bridges in #Iowa tinyurl.com/yn7z4ab7 #pubarch 🏺
Did you know that #Iowa OSA staffs architectural historians? A recently completed historic property study for the Iowa DOT focuses on the former east bound Hwy 30 Cedar River Bridge (1953-2022) in Linn County. This StoryMap captures why this bridge was significant. tinyurl.com/4dr25wpp 🏺 #pubarch
I plan on creating an Iowa FAQ/resource sheet & webpage to respond to inquiries, schedule open houses & field observation days & give kid-friendly talks. Any other ideas? Has anyone else been contacted about this? I'm interested to hear about (unfunded) approaches to working with teams! #pubarch
🚨Attention #Archaeology 🏺 bsky!🚨 There is a *global* 2025-6 archaeology-themed robotics challenge involving 679,000 kids from 110+ countries. Teams are required to research archaeology & solve challenges in the field. This presents opportunities & challenges! 🧵https://tinyurl.com/2cmkjzx5 #pubarch
Archaeology, wellbeing, enthusiastic volunteers, the Aberdeenshire countryside and the chance to learn about the Mesolithic - see below for more details of this event being delivered by one of our amazing groups in the region. #pubarch

Just went down a 🐰🕳️ with the new NCES research. In 2023, 56% of American respondents performed at either Level 1 or 2 literacy (L2 is ~3-5 grade). Don't dumb it down, but remember to keep written #pubarch, #scicomm & interpretive materials short and sweet to improve engagement! tinyurl.com/56b2yb5c
A big thank you to Emily Wapshott of @archsengage.bsky.social for delivering an absolutely fascinating talk about the #DigTheCastle project, to the Bristol and Avon Archaeological Society.

Made a feed to capture skeets about public archaeology and community archaeology. Can tweak it if needed! #pubarch #publicarchaeology #archaeology bsky.app/profile/did:...
Not to mention limited mobility or upward movement. I'm incredibly lucky my boss values my work and compensates me for my experience and expertise. Equivalent #pubarch jobs are extremely rare, pay significantly less, or aren't an option due to high costs of living in other regions 🫤
