A really lovely evening catching up with lots of former colleagues at the joint 30th birthday celebrations with the Archaeology Data Service. And how fabulous does the IA logo look like on a cupcake!

My latest paper! Based on my PhD & many discussions with Mili Rajić we've managed (I think) to explain why we think storytelling, as method not outreach/engagement/afterthought, is so important for a dramatic shift in how we do archaeology #archaeology #storytelling #PhDpublication #socialjustice

School holidays and work meant I haven't had a chance to shout about this yet - but yesterday saw a release for a new paper, drawing together the Viking-Age lead 'inset' weights from across Britain and Ireland and looking at their origins (surprise: it's all to do with the Great Army once again) -

An extensive article that describes AI LLMs (and many of their myths) in greater detail, how they impact research (in archeology, but not only) and access to information. It was a timely read as someone about to share their dissertation on an open access platform

This is an excellent article, and well worth your time. Even if you’re not an archaeologist, what it has to say about AI’s effects on research, academia, and knowledge-production in general is very insightful

Last month the ADS moved to our new office at the Guildhall! Fittingly, @intarcheditor.bsky.social has also recently published the excavations from the annexe, offering a look into the site's long and varied past. To read the Guildhall paper visit: archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/news-events/...
Thank you @zenobiewan.bsky.social for insisting I read this (and @ekansa.bsky.social for writing it)! A very useful piece on LLMs that talks about what they are while also emphasizing what they do (in an anthropological/STS "how we use them" practice sense). Adding it into the quant course syllabus
