@eayers0 This is a fabulous assignment!

I am deeply honored to be the 2025 recipient of the Society for Historical Archaeology’s John L. Cotter Award. Thank you to my dear friend, Guy Oreido Weston, for nominating me and to everyone who has supported me. See you all in New Orleans!

@Dr_Chris_Barton Congratulations Chris! Much deserved!

@Catherineoscopy Minus 10 points for you. But since you are an overachiever your grade is still an A+++

Some stained glass drama… I finished the moray eel panel tonight, but while I was cleaning it the glass cracked. It should stay put, but you can see the hairline.

Our presentation on NY county poorhouse system of 19th & 20th centuries is ready for this weekends conference on State violence at Cornell. NY is creating new systems of temporary housing for the homeless that would benefit from understanding past failures archaeology.cornell.edu/unearthing-uns…

Misleading headline today about NYC water system - pay attention to: “There will be no more priority 3 & 4 acquisitions…. but additional focus on priority areas 1 & 2” The Ashokan/Olive & Boyds/Kent communities are in 1 & 2 flip.it/g17wy5

@ArchaeologyGame @Catherineoscopy @FlintDibble There is nothing correct about that creature’s anatomy!

@AM_Christensen Excellent!

Congratulations @lromeranth !

@RuthFCarden Beautiful dreamy landscape.

@Catherineoscopy It simply wants attention. Don’t fall for its games.

@AprilMBeisaw It would tell me it's fine--and then start choking on paper immediately after. Nonsense.

I find myself standing in front of the copier slamming a bunch of tiny doors and desperately begging "I don't know what else I can do for you! Help me help you!"
