My new book "Domesticated: How Cultivated Species Altered Ancient Silk Road Societies" was published online - and open access! #archaeology #eurasia #steppe #silkroads #archaeological #horse #cattle #millet doi.org/10.1093/978019778597…

I've been on the other site for a while - but just starting to find people over there.... bsky.app/profile/ventrescami…

Watching Indiana Jones with @NomadEmpires and our son. Me: do you think he had an MOU with his collaborators? Bry: those must be his postdocs

My mentor is making changes to the text of my book, and I just saw this gem: *define this term for students and provosts* 😂

Archaeologists, if you haven’t watched Time Bandits…..start now. Episode 7 is hilarious, as they end up in the Paleolithic and…..well, interact with Neanderthals. Best thing I’ve ever watched 🤣 #Archaeology #neanderthal #TimeBandits

BREAKING: The Department of Transportation just proposed a new rule to require airlines to seat parents next to their young kids on flights for free. It’s part of the Biden admin’s crackdown on junk fees.

Today, not only am I fired up to endorse @KamalaHarris for President of the United States, I’m proud to serve as a co-chair of her campaign. In Vice President Harris, Michigan voters have a candidate they can count on to lower their costs, protect their freedoms, and build an economy that works for working people. Donald Trump is a convicted felon who stokes violence, overturned Roe, and drove our economy into the ground. We cannot let him anywhere near the White House. Vice President Harris, you have my full support. Let’s win this.

My life with a partner in the same field is pretty accurately portrayed in the series Lessons in Chemistry…..especially the second episode where they are collaborating on a manuscript ❤️ @AppleTV #lessonsinchemistry #Archaeology #AcademicChatter @NomadEmpires

The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control. Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.
