Interesting read on a hotly debated topic... ☝️🤔 From Knowable Magazine: What archaeology reveals about the rise of autocracy | Knowable Magazine knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...

What archaeology reveals about the rise of all-powerful rulers

Autocracy wasn’t inevitable in early civilizations — many were more egalitarian. But when riches were there to monopolize, strongmen and inequalities emerged.

A new book explores how the terms “Viking” & “Viking Age” have been understood, adapted and misused from the early Middle Ages to the present day. Edited by our LEIZA researcher Thorsten Lemm, it brings together fresh perspectives from research, education and society. 🔗 go.leiza.de/vikings-viki...

Mein @leizarchaeology.bsky.social Kollege Pascal Warnking, Professor an der @unitrier.bsky.social, im @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy #Podcast "Der Rest ist Geschichte" über die Rolle von Meerengen in der Geschichte: www.deutschlandfunk.de/irankrieg-ge...

Geografie: Die Macht der Meerengen

Im Krieg gegen die USA und Israel hat der Iran ein Faustpfand: die Straße von Hormus. Die Geschichte zeigt, dass Geografie kriegsentscheidend sein kann.

Our colleague Detlef Gronenborn shares a quick update in German from this year's excavations at the Kapellenberg near Hofheim. New discoveries are shedding light on a 6,000-year-old Neolithic burial monument. 🏺 #archaeology

But all this would not have been achieved without the professionalism of @archaeo-fk.bsky.social and #hessenARCHÄOLOGIE

KAP26 Day9 Almost done for this time. We are looking at what may be the central stone packing, and at what may be 19th cent. disturbances. An excellent team of students from @unimainz.bsky.social has done excellent work!!! Big Hand!!! 👏👏👏

KAP26 Day 7: Press event with Hofheim Mayor Wilhelm Schulze. An important and highly cherished summer date for all of us, with a long tradition! We explained our thoughts, press info (in German) here: www.leiza.de/presse/detai...

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Die Sächsische Denkmalpflege / Landesarchäologie wird durch Umstrukturierung geschwächt und das wunderbare Museum für Archäologie Chemnitz #SMAC von seinem Fundament, der Sammlung, abgetrennt. Bitte unterzeichnen und teilen! petition.landtag.sachsen.de/petitionen/c...

Betroffen von der drohenden Schwächung des deutschen #Kulturerbe durch Zerstörung der fachlich-inhaltlich motivierten #Denkmalpflege sind zur Zeit vor allem #Niedersachsen, #NRW, #Sachsen und #Hessen - weitere Bundesländer werden wohl folgen.. #archaeology 🏺

übel, was da grad fast bundesweit abgeht: Denkmalschutzgesetze ändern, um die #Denkmalpflege praktisch den lokalen Behörden zu überlassen. Leuten, die meist von der historischen Sache keine Ahnung haben und denen wirtschaftliche Interessen, Baulobby u.a. im Nacken sitzen. #Kulturerbe #archaeology 🏺

KAP26 Day 5: What this is??? 🤔 Let's wait and see... We will share our thoughts next Tuesday. Until then ... 🤫 But we think its looking good! 🙂

KAP26 Day 4 View on Kapellenberg ridge from the E. The hilltop enclosure covers almost the entire length, extending 1300 m from N-S. The mound is located at the highest spot.😮 @leizarchaeology.bsky.social #hessenARCHÄOLOGIE

KAP26 Day 2: Once again we are trying to unravel that one BIG question - when did they start constructing that mound??? 🤨 From last year we know it must have been after 6000 BCE. That is somewhat unsurprising, though...🙄 @leizarchaeology.bsky.social #hessenARCHÄOLOGIE

Kapellenberg excavation 2026 (henceforth KAP26), day 1: Preparing the ground, fascination rising!!! 😮😃

Deadline coming up soon! This is a great opportunity to present in York's Guildhall and in walking distance of other fantastic sights of the city centre such as: - The House(s) of the Trembling Madness - Pivní - The Three Legged Mare - and Betty's! 🏺
