I encounter issues with folks on Facebook frequently in my work, and it's a big problem when it comes to illicit human remains sales as well. Good to see this getting more attention!

🔥 Powerful talk by Katie Paul on the key role of Facebook as facilitator in antiquities, human remains, drug etc. trafficking and war crimes. I especially agree on policies "just window dressing for PR" @peoplingthepast.bsky.social @atharproject.bsky.social @anthropaulicy.bsky.social

In celebration of International Children’s Book Day today, April’s #ImageOfTheMonth is a unique Oxyrhynchus papyrus fragment featuring an illustrated story on the labors of Hercules (3rd c. CE). While we do not know for certain, the papyrus has been interpreted as a type of children’s book 📚

"Archaeology is not just about the past. Archaeology is a discipline that lives in the present: it connects people, stimulates curiosity, sparks conversation and brings benefits to everyone involved. " The LOGGIA Project does amazing work connecting archaeology to communities ❤️🙏

I love open access. Between this and the incredible work that UCL puts out in Critical Heritage Studies, there is some great work available on making heritage relevant to society.

I once was mocked at a public talk on gladiators for asking about women gladiators: let’s stop doing that!

In honor of #InternationalWomensDay, our #ImageOfTheMonth is a marble relief commemorating two female gladiators —Amazon and Achillia. Found in Halicarnassus, this relief was acquired through donation by the British Museum (1847,0424.19) in 1846, but prior provenience is murky.
