I bet Richardson (2013) feels a bit misused!

The EAA votes are out

The great majority of our archaeological community has voted in favour of the petitions raised by #concernedEAA. We asked for a democratic process, we asked for accountability, and for the need to acknowledge the horrific genocidal policy of Israel against Gaza.

Vi trenger flere tiltak for Γ₯ hjelpe folk som Kristian som nekter Γ₯ integreres i det flerkulturelle samfunnet vi har i Norge.

Det er ingen vits Γ₯ bruke dem heller. Var pΓ₯ reise fΓΈr jul, booket hotell gjennom reisebyrΓ₯ men mΓ₯tte likevel legge ut selv da jeg kom til hotellet.

A group of current and past EAA members and action groups are calling for a (first) Counter Conference open online meeting for all of you to join to get information, voice your concerns and discuss next steps (date TBA).

Stop sign in red over the EAA Athens call. In black the text reads: β€œSave EAA. Vote. Boycott.”

We (MOLA) can host these brilliant Fellowships so do think of us if you have an idea that you want to explore for 2 years. Feel free to email me for a chat. #Archaeology ⚱️

Both starting anew and keeping up the fight are difficult and demanding processes. Have great respect and admiration for those who are trying hard to sort out the EAA.

I don't know. I am at least not going to rejoin the EAA and don't see a future for it. There is no professional body here in Norway, so that is perhaps something to work towards. Conference is more difficult to replace, but maybe Nordic TAG could become an annual event.

I disagree that it will be more efficient to reclaim it. You see how the power structures work now, how bullying and abuse are the control mechanisms. This is hard to eradicate. Let them have their shoddy club.

Veldig fin tekst. Mye man kan si om Γ₯ vΓ¦re vedtak-nordmann, men vi har i hvert fall oppnΓ₯dd mΓ₯lbare kriterier for Γ₯ bli statsborgere, som er mer enn Toje og alle tilfeldighet-nordmenn πŸ˜‰ (OgsΓ₯: utrolig trist at Aftenposten mΓ₯tte bruke KI for Γ₯ oversette fra svensk!)

Got a citation alert for this very interesting new paper! The authors focus on Atapuerca, but more broadly it includes some informative discussions on archaeology and media that will be of interest to those interested in public archaeological communication.

Back home after @tag2025york.bsky.social. A good conference; great sessions, spot-on keynotes, and really well organised. Was great to meet old friends and make new connections.
