First drafted this for the Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of Japan & Korea almost 10 years ago. It needs updating! But I wanted to post the draft to receive any feedback about the 'medieval Ainu diaspora', a concept inspired by Viking studies. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Picked up some more Jomon pottery from the Yamanashi prefecture Suwahara site last week. Looking forward to testing out some improved photogrammetry scanning pipelines! #archaeology #Japan #Jomon #3D 🏺
It takes a lot to rouse me from the deep depression of the past year. Apparently, misrepresenting Japanese archaeology will do it...rivaled only by deleting comments, which I’ll share the gist of below. Who knows? Maybe this has incited me to finally start creating content again.

Related to all the #3D printing, I should probably have mentioned the public event! On May 31st #Ritsumeikan will be hosting the second annual Art Village Festival at the Kinugasa Campus. Admission is free! #Kyoto kinugasa.ritsumei.ac.jp/artfes/engli...
Despite the slow start the Bambu did a pretty nice job with these prints! Now it's just a matter of timing to see how many we can crank out before the big public event this weekend! #archaeology #3D #Ritsumeikan #立命館
Using a Bambu printer at the office for the first time. The printhead keeps moving towards the printhead, backing away, moving back to the print bed, and then backing away again. It reminds me of a golfer that spends 5 minutes on repeated practice swings up at the tee.... #3D
This #2026NAW, remember: #archaeology is no longer just trowels, notebooks, and trenches. Today we are working with #drones, #GIS, #photogrammetry, #MachineLearning, #3DModelling, #RemoteSensing and advanced data analysis to uncover, record and protect the past. @archaeologyweekaus.bsky.social 1/5
