Excellent editorial by C. Luke about the new initiative by @J_F_Archaeology to include photo essays in an effort to “support our authors in their effort to convey the rich diversity of what happens in a place at a specific time”.

New initiative, latest issue of @J_F_Archaeology editor C Luke "..we ask that you think holistically about how photo essays reveal aspects of doing archaeology and heritage..that challenge the format of linear text." doi-org.proxy.uchicago.edu/10.1080/009346…

After Burning Man, the Kites in Context (ISAC/UPenn) archaeological team are experiencing deja vu from their own unexpected, unusual desert floods while in the field this summer in the Black Desert of eastern Jordan.

Beginning the last week of the season with a well earned cheese plate before dinner. Our dig is very fancy. (Before/after)

More than a week after the unusual desert deluge the Qa is still filled with water and impassable. #Jordan #climatechange @KitesinContext

The flooding has gone down, but the routes into and out of our camp remain impassable! (At least for our trucks, a friend has been able to get in, to check on us, with a better truck). #KiC2023 #Fieldworkproblems

Sadly, lots of rain also meant flooding in camp and a quick move to higher ground!
