I’d like to share (with permission) my friend and colleague (who also leads an archaeological project in Petra) Leigh Ann Bedal’s Facebook post about the recent @Discovery #ExpeditionUnknown episode with @joshuagates - old discovery, fake excavating, ignoring the work of locals

Provenance is the human story behind the object. Take shipwrecks for instance:
"“You can just count coins, you can count porcelain, but there is no ‘why was this on board? Who was the owner? Where was it going?’ – the human story behind it.”

Aerial views of some of the #timber damage from #HurricaneHelene. #Forest landowners, if you have timber damage, document it! Contact your local @usdafsa to inquire about EFRP funding. This document offers a few more things to consider: gatrees.org/wp-content/uploa…

Look, I love this state and this city but y’all have to stop winding the Minnesotans up like this. As a culture, we are not equipped to handle this kind of overt positive attention in a healthy way.
