@sebhth Does the tiredness affect the size of the archaeologist? You know, for the sake of scale...

Here's a "Middle Roman Amphora 7" with an (increasingly tired) archaeologist for scale. MRA7s are common by 3rd Cent. CE, petering out by 5th. Probably made in Aegean. A staple of ceramic assemblages of that period.

@BillCaraher Just my two cents, but only one of these options allows you the 'late toss' option once it's running.

Long discussion this morning about when you move from being “front loading washer” to “top loading washer” kind of people. I don’t feel like we’re there yet. Debate is ongoing…

The current exhibit at the @MSUUnion Art Gallery, "The Art of Archaeology," captures the excitement and visual appeal of the #MSU Excavations at Isthmia in Greece. Read more about the making of this exhibit, which is on display until Feb. 18. cal.msu.edu/news/msu-union…

Just found out that in the new online course scheduler at our university, students put classes they want into their 'shopping cart.' Struggling with the take home on that one...

And West toward the keep.

First chance to get up to Acrocorinth after last week's fires. For those familiar, this is a shot looking east toward the upper pirene fountain.

A huge thanks to Dr. Lolos for an after hours tour of the site and his amazing facilities be at Sikyon.

Sure, August is hot as blazes in Athens, but a visit to the acropolis on the holy day of the Panagia is amazing. It's a ghost town...

After days and days of punishing heat and forest fires, we're enjoying an absolutely wonderful morning atop Acrocorinth.

Stopped by the Isthmia dig house to see how the shelf audit team is doing. When asked, they replied 'We're crushing it.' Curious expression considering the nature of the work.

That's not dirt on the car window. It rains ash every night now on Greece

@BillCaraher Time to blindly use the 'replace all' function because that always works, right?

It’s kind of messed up that “pasts” becomes “pasta” with one missed key stroke. It’s making this review that I’m writing a bit weird.

@piertotumlocomt It's the thing you write with lots of questions to give your students something to inspire then to write a response.

@jonmfrey It may sound weird but what exactly does the discussion prompt mean??? ( you're the last one to tweet this concept so)

Found many parts of my online course content on several essay merchant sites today. So many questions... Who buys and submits a discussion prompt as an essay? But more importantly, why is this not boosting my scores on academic analytics?

@BillCaraher You should know that the Twitter alert on this tweet simply says, 'I'm slowly learning to ride my bike....' Talk about click bait!

I’m slowly learning to ride my bike more regularly (and slightly longer distances) this spring and summer. One thing that is new to my late middle-age self is that I fall off my bike. A lot. ~35 mile ride. 3 falls (2 dramatic, 1 just dumb). This makes riding more and less fun.

Ah yes. Michigan in the springtime. Because why shouldn't you have to mow your grass in a winter coat?

@kate_sonka I keep thinking that this is like that moment when Forrest Gump jumps off his boat to see Lt. Dan. Just stay on the boat folks. We're so close to the dock!

@kate_sonka How about a double dog? Happy Birthday Kate!

@A_Challenger @jonah_magar Ah yes. The shotgun approach to spelling. 'Well, one of these has gotta be right, right?'

@jonah_magar Congrats brad!

Ya boy made the local news! Aaaaand they spelled my name both correctly and incorrectly (yes, within the same article). Does "fatal error" not strike fear into the heart of the modern-day copy editor, or...?

About to sit down to dinner tonight and I hear one boy, 'Wait. George Lucas is alive???' Me: 'I'll be eating in kitchen...'
