The main reason we were in Dover was to see the Bronze Age boat 🤩
I was especially delighted to learn that the planks were stitched together with yew withies, and caulked with moss and beeswax 🌲🌱🐝
It looks like there are many budding #Rchaeologists on mastodon.
If you are looking for resources to get started, we have compiled a focused list here: https://rchaeology.github.io/resources/beginners/
and an archaeology-specific list here: https://rchaeology.github.io/resources/archaeology/
A thing I wanted to say before I forget (again) - not all independent researchers are like Graham Hancock etc.
I'm an indie researcher. I have a degree & PhD in #archaeology & I've been employed as an arch for 35 years, but all our #torc #research is indie - we have no uni affiliation, no funding, no backers.
We peer-review publish, we network, attend conferences, we pick up a little cash from lecturing & have had help in kind, but in the end, it's Roll & I and a lot of hard work! 😊
boostable version, donate to Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, transmisia, fuck TERFs
Today, scottish Arch-TERF JK Rowling announced she's funded a competing rape crisis centre in Edinburgh that will only serve cis women, apparently as a fuck-you to the existing Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, which has a trans woc CEO and has endured months of harrassment from TERFs to the point of temporary closure. Please show some support to the current trans-inclusive ERCC if you can:
