@oliviervanburen Lol. Awesome counter-example of globalizing cultural icons. One wonders if it was Rome, Paris, or Washington? Either way, probably not Egypte…

@MSUanthropology Welcome, Ethan. Hopefully until soon at Burlington House then! @SocAntiquaries

@koryoinleiden Het valt dus nog wel mee met het KOG als er ook dit soort scherpe pennen rondlopen.

@MichaelESmith @Jorrit_Kelder This is when Twitter is bliss

@chirikure @tommyhigham So unrelenting @chirikure 😉

[Alex Geurds @ArcheoAlex]

My DPhil student ⁦@chen_guopeng⁩ is working on causality in archaeology. For a cautionary tale of how archaeology might fall into correlation-causation traps: check out ⁦@TylerVigen⁩ and his fun graphs… #arewesureaboutthis? https://t.co/1F0Rvn93G0

Sad news, to close a long and eventful life. Ferdinand would come to Leiden and simply say “Jetzt werde Ich ihnen Mahl etwas lustiges sagen..“ and off he went, discussing Seler, codices, and Maximilian, students at the tip of their seats, with Maarten smiling alongside ❤️
