Happy International #womensday2026 Jona asked whether we wanted to do a post for Women's Day, and I said yes. "What about this person?" she asked. "Well, great, but I thought about us two?!" Of course, she was right. Two women in archaeology is a great reason to celebrate. 🎉 #womeninarchaeology

Stefanie’s archaeology journal - Chios Kore It’s meditative to finish the journal up with colours. Here, Stefanie decided to not draw the face (has definitely nothing to do with the lack of skill🫣😂) and still, the drawing “works” What do you think? #archaeologyjournal #objectbiographies #kore
