@chirikure @prendydigs With the current nationalistic trend, I doubt it. with the scarcity of jobs in Archaeology everywhere, I doubt it even more. It is more concerning, though, that in countries like SouthAfrica there are so few African scholars teaching AfricanArchaeology.

I am so happy to be giving a talk hosted by @sharmaheritage and reaching out in particular to my colleagues in #India. I started working in India in 1987, and it stimulated all of the archaeological work I do to this day! Limited to 100, so register now!

This month I was supposed to be heading to the Karoo for my first fieldwork since leaving South Africa a year ago. To alleviate my own homesickness and help others suspend their locked down reality, here are some photos of old haunts from field trips past.
