Hey everyone! So @FlintDibble shared a bunch of great resources including YouTube channels for archaeology. This part I helped with a little, so I thought I'd go one further and put together a list of them all in this 🧵!

Please share widely and make sure to subscribe! First off, of course, is Flint's channel.

🧵 1/ Come along on a journey of how archaeology REALLY works..

So, recall this quite strange artifact I showed off a few days ago? It was found near the bottom of a historic fill layer at the Henry Whitfield House in Guilford, Connecticut. Image 2/ Here it is moments after recovery last July. This was one of the most interesting artifacts I had ever seen. Also, I had No Idea what this thing was, but I found it so evocative. Look at that weird little face on there! Look at that delicate handle! Image

Here's where I'm going to end off on this, hopefully back where I started: Repatriation is a morally-right action. I'm speaking now to folks who are not already in this debate. 2/
Repatriation, if you don't know (and in the simplest terms I can manage) is taking the remains of Indigenous ancestors currently housed in museums, universities, and elsewhere, and giving them back to descendant communities (usually) for reburial.

On the ethics of talking about bad actors. This is a followup post/couple of posts on a discussion still ongoing (you can check my profile if you'd like to see it firsthand) with @ArchyFantasies @FlintDibble @JenniferRaff and others Image 2/ @ArchyFantasies brought up this person's twitter profile last night on a discord which we both frequent. She pointed out that as of now, this person was not getting any serious, sustained criticism from the archaeological community and that they should - I agreed
