Gotta love the reuse of ancient monuments - cc @gabemoshenska.bsky.social this could be your stonehenge

Are you sure about that...

A very fluffy ginger cat with a silky white chest and golden eyes. He is being intensely judgemental.

Playing with it a little, here's archaeology

a line graph showing enrolment in archaeology programs ranging between 4300 and 4700 students. It is about 4700 in 2015/16, drops fast to 2018/19, then starts rising again to about the same as 2015/16 by last year

Really enjoyed this extremely scholarly but very readable account of genealogical practices in 17th-19th c America

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 6

I'm fundamentally a prehistoric specialist, but I've always loved industrial archaeology. Canals, mines, factories, all super super cool

The industrial archaeology of the isle of man by T A Bawden et al

One of the joys (to me) of working in Europe is that one must be multilingual or willing to work towards multilinguality. Even just reading academic archaeology, reading in many languages opens you to so many ways of seeing the world

Rojo-Guerra et al eds. El campanoforme en la península ibérica y su contexto europeo

I had to read this as an undergrad and i hated it, but i so keep coming back to it over and over for different things

Analytical Archaeology by David L Clarke

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 6

I love teaching. I got into the game for teaching. This was the first book i found on pedagogy specifically in archaeology

Archaeology to delight and instruct edited by Heather Burke and Claire Smith

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 6

Ok so this is also a classic, but it was so important to me as a doctoral student that when i met Robin Torrence years later i felt like I was meeting a rock star

What's New, edited by SE van der Leeuw and Robin Torrence

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 6

I picked this up as part of my research into innovation - a classic for a reason

Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger's book Situated Learning

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 6

This is one i regularly recommend

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 6

I'm inordinately upset that i missed seeing this exhibition, but the book is wonderful

Cover of The world of Stonehenge by Duncan Garrow and Neil Wilkin. The book accompanying the British museum exhibition

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 6

Unsurprisingly I've got two copies of this one

Jan Apel's book Daggers knowledge and power

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 6

Self promo time? Somehow despite being open access this book sold enough copies for a paperback edition which is just out this year!

My book Negotiating Migrations. First author Daniela Hofmann. This is the hardback edition

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 6

Another small book but very powerful. Emma is such a brilliant thinker and scholar

Cover of Emma Kowal's Haunting biology: science and indigeneity in Australia

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 6

This one very justifiably won prizes. Very very recommended

Cover of Gabriel Cooney's "Death in Irish Prehistory" cover image is a beautiful drawing of a dressed white person in a small hole and crouched on their side

Lived this bio of childe. I meet Terry Irving back in December and we talked about how to do politics with scholarship. Really inspirational stuff for me

Cover of Terry Irving's biography of VG Childe titled "the fatal lie of politics. The life and thought of vere gordon childe"

I have a pretty big collection of French language archaeology books - this one has been on my shelves since i was a student

A black cover with white text and a white sketch of an engraved megalithic standing stone. The title is L'age du bronze en Europe Barbare. Des mégalithes aux Celtes. Author is Jacques Briarde

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 6

A classic

A white book cover with a lavender circle in the centre. Within this is a black and white sketch of a bunch of women in 19th c attire posing with excavation tools. The title is Women in Archaeology: A feminist critique. Its editors are Hilary du Cros and Laurajane Smith

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 5

Strong recommend for this excellent comic book recounting the excavation and occupation of a 19th c queer quarter in Sheffield England

I am holding up a thin graphic novel. The cover is a drawing of a white man in workman's clothes carrying a bag and walking towards an industrial city. The title is "Hollis Croft. A matter of time" on the bottom text reads "a historical comic book by Miki Rajic illustrated by Dave Howarth"

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman· Apr 2

I haven't seen it in the replies or quotes, maybe because it's applicable well beyond hockey, but i think about this one from @actingthefulemin.bsky.social constantly

Screenshot of a tweet from Acting The Fulemin.

Text reads "i think a lot of people think the point of sports is that your team will win and then you will be happy. That is not the point of sports. The point of sports is to be sad in a group."

This is why my bsky experience is so peaceful

A close up of several related clusters of the cloud map. The clusters are green doors on a black background. They are labelled classic studies scholars, academic archaeologists, palaeoecological and archaeology researchers, ancient dna researchers

The flag of the Capital Territory is not bad, but i do think it's got a rather over inflated sense of self
