@WNMUMuseum @svankeuren If you’re interested, Michael Diehl has a paper in the Collected Papers from the 20th Biennial Mogollon Archaeology Conference, The Implications of Wild Grape Abundance at Nan Ranch (2019, pages 57-61) see also King et al2017 JASR, Corn, Beer, and Marine Resources @ CasasGrandes

@fishandfreckles Thank you so much, that was great!

[Sean Dolan @sgdolan]

@sherr_spadefoot @SW_symposium Thank you for live tweeting the @SW_symposium!

@stgoldste Nice piece of obsidian. Will you analyze it with XRF to see what source it's from?

[Sean Dolan @sgdolan]

@dmcarballo @OUPAcademic I’m looking forward to reading it!

[Sean Dolan @sgdolan]

@Chaco_arch Debra Martin is the current Kiva editor. She is really helpful and would be a able to answer any questions

[Sean Dolan @sgdolan]

@Chaco_arch I had no mentor and still don’t. No one told me or advised me how to start, I just had the motivation to learn on my own and submit. I did have coauthors but they are not always helpful

[Sean Dolan @sgdolan]

@StonesAndSkulls I didn’t feel that way at all. There’s always journal articles to write based on the dissertation. And then start new research projects!

I created these sets because I decided to change my role as an expert in #archaeology and #science — I want to be someone who, with the luxury of a stable position, can use knowledge and influence to help others, especially students and junior scholars.

[Sean Dolan @sgdolan]

Glad to see this published @StefaniCrabtree

@Chaco_arch I don't know if I had to get permission, or wait until someone told me I could, I just put it on https://t.co/BctN12L3qQ right after I graduated. No one has scolded me.

@HermanPontzer @PennState @LHlusko @PeterSUngar Dr. Walker wrote me a letter of recommendation for me to attend the Koobi Fora fieldschool. His 400 level human evolution class is still by far the best class I’ve ever taken.

[Sean Dolan @sgdolan]

Are you interested in the archaeology of the Mexican Northwest and lithic technology? We have a new paper coming out in Lithic Technology that looks at hunter-gatherer mobility in Chihuahua using obsidian artifacts. #SWarchaeology #obsidian #stonetools #archaeology #research

@ATOzga something to consider!

[Kendra Sirak @KendraSirak]

It's that time again! @JakobSedig and I will be organizing another session at #SAA2020 about #ancientDNA and #archaeology! We are looking for a few more speakers who are interested in the topic of increasing the accessibility of ancient DNA within archaeology- abstract attached!

@mcmsharksxx question! Now that we have over a decade of footage of white sharks breaching the surface, what research questions can we still investigate? What can we learn new about “air jaws”?? Or do they keep towing fake seals to just get great photos?

[Sean Dolan @sgdolan]

@mcmsharksxx It’s so interesting how the seals escort or harass the shark out into deeper water. Then the seals swim back so quickly! I wonder if the seals who do this are more mature or female or male

@mcmsharksxx At one of the museums in Honolulu

[Sean Dolan @sgdolan]

@mcmsharksxx Cool, Phoenix in 2021!

[Sean Dolan @sgdolan]

@mcmsharksxx Can you tell me the names of conferences shark biologists present their research at? I’d like to check on south sometime. I’m an archaeologist and there are many regional and international conferences. Thanks so much!

[Sean Dolan @sgdolan]

@mcmsharksxx I’m in the desert of the US Southwest, New Mexico!
