@violetamormeg Lo mismo sufrimos los italianos. Cuando se formalizó el italiano estandar sobre el toscano todos los demas dialectos fueron rechazados como de trabajadores del campo. Siento haber perdido tanto del siciliano de mis abuelos ❤️

@ralf_vandam Same here, Ralf!

Feeling a bit like my badge 🥵 after the #EAA2024, but it has been great to see friends and colleagues coming from all over the world 🌍 I hope conference fees will decrease next year so we can still have an inclusive place to meet and share ideas... See you in Belgrade 🤞!

Mixed feeling these 2 days: didn't get post-doc myself,but I know friends who did and two people of my team as well 🎉🎉 Let's celebrate! #research #academics #postdoc

[Roberta Mentesana @HappensInMyLab]

And this is the last day of teaching. Things were added, removed, changed position, all very random 😅 It reminded me to look at life as an archaeologist: explore, stop when nothing make sense and think about the next steps😜. To the next year!

[Roberta Mentesana @HappensInMyLab]

And...teaching is over for this year 🎉🎉🎉! It has been challenging and extremely tiring between surgeries, therapies and the constant feeling of not being the same as before 😢 This is a picture of lost&found objects, 1st day... #Archaeology #UB #researchers #academia

[Roberta Mentesana @HappensInMyLab]

Does crisis means change? Will see what ceramics tells us! For now we very much enjoyed the conference biscuits 🫣 😝

[Roberta Mentesana @HappensInMyLab]

From #Almeria with ❤️! Presented our collaboration with @prinmaugr to study the ceramics from Bayra, a Nasrid town conquered by the Catholic Crown in the late 15th century and that faced a massive earthquake in 1518 that forced its people to move from the hilltop to the plain 🏚️
