Doing some research on clay marbles and the second sentence of this book brings up the "race" of the mound builders. It's been a while since I face palmed myself so hard. #Racisim #IngienousArchaeology #MythOfTheMoundBuilders #ArchaeologyActivism #scicomm

You know you're an archaeologist when you wash your work pants but there's *still* soil in the pockets.

It may be cold at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, but there is archaeology to be done! There are many different soil colors and textures, the worst (of course) being clay! Yuck!

Visited Puerco Pueblo village site at Petrified Forest National Park! Beautiful archaeology and great interpretation signage! #Archaeology #FindYourPark #PEFO

My recent trip to Apostle Islands National Lakeshore was archaeology and camping filled... And oh so much fun! I can't wait to experience this beautiful park again in the future! #FindYourPark #Archaeology

Many PhD students think their project has to be their magnum opus, a masterpiece which will be the best research they ever do. In fact, a PhD is training, to give you the tools for a future research career. Supervisors would do well to remember this too! #phdchat #phdlife

6,000 years and most of us are still lactose intolerant. Evolution sure does take its time. Speaking of which I need to get a wisdom tooth extracted 😬 Why is it called a wisdom tooth anyways? #ScienceQuestions

[AIA @archaeology_aia]

Scientists who analyzed dental plaque from the teeth of individuals whose remains came from three Neolithic sites in Britain have identified what may be the earliest direct evidence of milk consumption by humans. https://t.co/7f4kFzBprr via @BBCScienceNews #archaeology

What better way to celebrate #ArchaeologyMonth than with beer and archaeology lighting talk presentations! If your in Nebraska come out to Archaeology on Tap with me @ Happy Raven in Lincoln from 6 - 7 pm! I'll be the one talking about Cherokee archaeology and XRF!

[Chris Allen @ChrisDaveAllen]

Getting ready for this month's travel adventure to @NatlParkService Apostle Islands National Lakeshore (APIS) to get our MWAC archaeology on. Checking over the tent for rips or tears, everything looks good!

[Chris Allen @ChrisDaveAllen]

Well getting ready for it anyways. The talks not until next week ✌️

[Chris Allen @ChrisDaveAllen]

Getting my #scicomm on for a 7-min talk to some public folk about portable X-ray Fluorescence (pXRF) in archaeology for Archaeology month!!!

[Chris Allen @ChrisDaveAllen]

Excellent step forward! 👏👏👏

The @CherokeeNation has named Kimberley Teehee as its first ever delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives.

A treaty from 1835 created the position, but it's never been filled — until now. (Via @grahambrewer)

There might be skeletal remains from as many as 500 people at this picturesque little lake high in the Himalayas. It's delightfully creepy, and perhaps a lot more complicated than it first seemed: https://t.co/EExmPygT3W

Armed robber: Archeologists dig up dinosaurs

Me: WE DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT DINOSAURS. WE STUDY THE MATERIAL CULTURE OF PAST HUMAN EVENTS AND.... shit.
