It is with deep sadness that Dr Marianne Moen and I resigned our positions as Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Archaeology this morning. What follows is the letter we sent to the EAA's executive board, outlining the reasons for our resignation 1/n

Well... A reminder of Jan vote: Motion A: 67% (486 members) agreed to exclude Israeli institutions (not individuals) from participating in EAA AMs until the end of the genocide in Palestine ends [paraphrased] 1/2 www.e-a-a.org/EAA/News___P...

New discoveries show that Oslo’s royal manor was built over a Viking Age boat grave

Hundreds of boat rivets discovered during excavations in 2023 may be the remains of a Viking Age boat grave beneath Oslo's royal manor.

Bekymret tillitsvalgt! Usikker framtid for arkeologer! 🏺🚨 frifagbevegelse.no/ntlmagasinet...

Arkeologer forlater yrket: – Stor usikkerhet

Et forslag til ny lov om kulturminner skaper stor uro. Ingen kan si hvordan jobbframtida vil bli.

🏺Ship burial i Oslo! @derrymick.bsky.social has worked out that there used to be a boat grave where the medieval Kongsgården was later built. Great project management by me. www.niku.no/2026/04/nye-...

Nye funn avslører at kongsgården i Oslo er bygget over en båtgrav fra vikingtiden

Hundrevis av klinknagler funnet under utgravninger i 2023 avslører at Oslo er grunnlagt over en båtgrav fra vikingtiden.

All news is Erik of Pommern news

Ole-Albert@oarn.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Altså, jeg setter virkelig pris på historiske sammenligninger som går lenger tilbake enn 1905, men jeg minner om at Erik av Pommern ble AVSATT som norsk konge i 1442.

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 å hjelpe folk som Kristian som nekter å integreres i det flerkulturelle samfunnet vi har i Norge.

Yes! Jeg er renraset etter FRPs oppfatning. Betyr dette at jeg må kjøpe meg hvit frakk med spiss hette og begynne å brenne kors eller er det valgfritt?

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).

Tired of excuses and obfuscation from the EAA Executive? Want a collegial and supportive society fit for its members? Then #boycottEAA Read our call for voting and boycotting below! If you want a detailed description of the events so far please read: drive.google.com/file/d/1jdGO...

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 ⚱️

Please help spread the word on this, especially to those who may be feeling cold winds towards their research. We’ve opened the call for our International Fellowships, enabling early career researchers to work for two years at a UK research institution www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/sche...

EAA is finished. Time for a new organisation.

Yesterday I resigned from the EAA Appeals & Anti-Harassment Committee (AAHC) after I was targetted in what I believe was an attempt to disprupt & undermine the AAHC. Be assured, AAHC are v much committed to making EAA a safe space, despite the restrictions imposed on them by the existing statutes. 🏺

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. 🏺

This paper addresses the relationships between the Atapuerca UNESCO World Heritage archaeological system and the media. Based on a qualitative-ethnographic approach, we specifically examine how a s...

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.

TAG York: Very interesting session today on archaeology and neoliberalism, led by @haraldfred.bsky.social @drsadiewatson.bsky.social @rachelking.bsky.social and Pippa Postgate. As @guillermodiazliano.bsky.social noted, neoliberalism is the dominant paradigm in archaeology. Lots to think about!

Join us #TAG2025 Session 7 in LMV/036X for Archaeologies in and of Neoliberalism: Is Professionalisation a Barrier to Participation? 12.30 on Monday. @drsadiewatson.bsky.social and I reflect on development-led archaeology and museums & I'll be sharing participatorymuseums.wordpress.com/the-report/

Da jeg var barn var en av mine reelle fremtidsfrykter at vi skulle få britisk vinter som jeg så på tv. Kaldt, vått, grått, trist. Vel. Nå er vi her da. Og det er akkurat så kjipt som jeg så for meg.

I am going to submit this as my comments to my work's new AI guidelines. Looking forward to all the light and whimsical archaeology reports coming in the next few years.

You're never gonna believe this, but we're out of archaeologists again. We have matched ~650 groups with archaeologists this semester! I am so grateful to the 196 Archaeologist volunteers! We have 60 unmatched groups rn Know archaeologists who could do a session? Send them to SkypeAScientist.com

Went to listen to Anders Högberg talk about heritage futures at Riksantikvaren. It was a bit of a shock to realize how little of this research and modern thoughts about heritage have filtered down to the decision-making level. Concerning given a new heritage law is being written.
