📕 Nona Palincaş and Ana Cristina Martins are the editors of the book "Gender and Change in Archaeology. European Studies on the Impact of Gender Research on Archaeology and Wider Society", published by Springer Nature.
The book shows various ways in which the study of gender makes a difference in archaeological research, in academia and in the public's thinking about gender.
i'm afraid i was the only one celebrating the european archaeology days in the (part of) the fediverse (that i'm connected with) yesterday…
won't prevent me to go on today, welcome to the live tooting of the conference 「transmitting archaeology from #ryukyu and #okinawa」. i'm not good at typing fast so it will only be in english today (understand that i'm french, listening in japanese and typing in english so forgive any mistakes) #JEArcheo#EADays@archaeodons
Today I’ll give you a report of how we do reconnaissance surveys in the northern forested part of the island, in search for Early Modern and Modern Period remains (mostly Modern Period, access to the northern forests were very limited by law during the #Ryūkyū Kingdom). This is contracted archaeology, so I can’t give you the exact location, nor the nice report photographs that belong to the contractor, you’ll have to cope with my memo snapshots. #EADays@archaeodons
Les Journées Nationales de l’Archéologie ! European Archaeology Days !
From #Okinawa Island in the Pacific, because, well, I’m a European, so it’s all right. Hope you’re prepared for three days of incessant archaeology babbling in English, French and possibly Japanese if I have the energy. Follow (and use) the hashtags if you wish for more archaeology in your life. #JEArcheo#EADays@archaeodons
Agropastoral and dietary practices of the northern Levant facing Late Holocene climate and environmental change: Isotopic analysis of plants, animals and humans from Bronze to Iron Age Tell Tweini
“In view of the known critical factors influencing Bronze and Iron Age agriculture in the Eastern Mediterranean region, such as the global climate fluctuations at the end of the Early and Late Bronze Age or the collapse of the socio-economic system in connection with migrations, at least in part of a warlike nature, which are described as the invasion of the “Sea Peoples”, agricultural production at Tell Tweini proves to be comparatively resilient. Thus, despite the destruction of Tell Tweini in the first quarter of the 12th century BC, a revival of urban life and trading systems in the 11th century BC and continuing into the Iron Age II is evident.”

Given the awful weather here in #Okinawa, i won't be able to live-toot my work day on friday, but here is my programme :
friday : fake live-tooting of a reconnaissance survey in the northern mountains
saturday : real live-tooting of the conference 「transmitting archaeology from ryukyu and okinawa」
sunday : if the weather allows it, presentation of one of the main gusuku castles, probably katsuren. if it's still rainy, i'll go to a museum. #JEArcheo#EADays @archaeodons
The Genomic History of the Bronze Age Southern Levant
“We find that Levant-related modern populations typically have substantial ancestry coming from populations related to the Chalcolithic Zagros and the Bronze Age Southern Levant. These groups also harbor ancestry from sources we cannot fully model with the available data, highlighting the critical role of post-Bronze-Age migrations into the region over the past 3,000 years.”
📖 Pode a #GuerraCivil de Espanha ser vista como uma guerra colonial interna cujos contornos vão além da data de fim da guerra?
A partir do ponto de vista da materialidade (e de fontes históricas), Xurxo Ayán e Josu Santamarina defendem que sim, revelando dados arqueológicos do prolongamento do conflito face à resistência ao #Franquismo.
“This episode examines the origins of Hebrew and its relationship with Canaanite dialects in the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age.
