NEW Porcelains from the Nanhai I shipwreck, the most well-preserved Song period (AD 960–1279) shipwreck discovered in China to date. Analysis sheds light on the period's complex trade networks and global maritime connectivity in the pre-modern world.

British Columbia’s Indigenous trails are a test case for whether heritage management practices can evolve as archaeological and Indigenous understandings of the landscape coalesce. https://t.co/mpBK8q0wSS

I’d like to share (with permission) my friend and colleague (who also leads an archaeological project in Petra) Leigh Ann Bedal’s Facebook post about the recent @Discovery #ExpeditionUnknown episode with @joshuagates - old discovery, fake excavating, ignoring the work of locals

Provenance is the human story behind the object. Take shipwrecks for instance:
"“You can just count coins, you can count porcelain, but there is no ‘why was this on board? Who was the owner? Where was it going?’ – the human story behind it.”
