"The truth is in the trash. It’s the enormous quantity of waste we produce that reveals humanity’s activity throughout the ages: the humble remains of meals, discarded tools and abandoned spaces."

I have broken down and written my first Twitter thread since my cancer diagnosis last year

It's about the problems with the ways Gunung Padang has been portrayed on social media and in the media

Much of archaeology social media is posting about Gunung Padang in Indonesia. Soon the media will

Check out what Indonesian experts, Dr. Lutfi Yondri and Harry Sofian, have to say about this 2000 year old stone terraced monument (hint it's not an Ice Age pyramid)

Oh wow. The (hugely problematic) paper claiming Gunung Padang was a pyramid from the Ice Age has been retracted

To learn about the real archaeology of Gunung Padang, see my interview with Prof. Lutfi Yondri, the archaeologist who actually excavated the site

I just signed a petition supporting Welsh heritage, which is under risk with enormous proposed cuts to museums and other institutions in Wales. These are devastating to history, archaeology, and culture here in Wales

Please SIGN and SHARE this petition: https://petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/246088?s=09

One day the truth will come out...

and people wonder why archaeologists point out how pseudoarchaeology robs heritage from other people

Check out this interesting chat I had with Sam Gregson about a fascinating overlap between archaeology 🏺 and particle physics 🧪

The use of old lead from ancient shipwrecks because of its low radioactivity. We chat about dark matter, lead makeup, and archaeological ethics

Remember the news about an Ice Age pyramid at Gunung Padang in Indonesia?

I got in touch with Dr. Lutfi Yondri who conducted excavations at the site. Together with Harry Sofian we subject the recent paper by Danny Hilman & others to a public peer review

I'm starting to think most pseudoarchaeology begins as bad archaeology published by non-archaeologists who don't have training or understanding of archaeological context

Chemists, geologists, geographers, mathematicians, philosophers, religious historians, biologists, etc
