NEW Porcelains from the Nanhai I shipwreck, the most well-preserved Song period (AD 960–1279) shipwreck discovered in China to date. Analysis sheds light on the period's complex trade networks and global maritime connectivity in the pre-modern world. 🆓 buff.ly/4ipPDlA

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.” bbc.com/news/articles/ckgn18…

Case of the Day: The "Black Swan Hoard" was recovered from the wreck of the Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes Spanish naval frigate sunk off Algarve, Portugal, by the British Navy in 1804 as it returned to Spain from Peru. It lay there until 2007. (1/3) mola.omeka.net/items/show/21…

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.
