Next week I'm attending a conference in Brussels under the heading "Hobby #archaeology: from citizen science to heritage practice communities". It's going to be a little unusual, because most of the participants approach metal detecting as an object of sociological study, not as an instrument to gather data on archaeological objects. But I have very little interest in sociological aspects on archaeology, or meta-archaeology. 1/2

I collaborate with amateur detectorists primarily because I want archaeological data. (Also of course it's a super fun and friendly activity.) This means that I am an object of study to most of the participants. 2/2

"Dear colleagues. I stand before you today as a member of the communities you study. If you are zoologists, then I am a frog."

German towns have lent their names to two of my rose bushes: Rostock and Uetersen.

@Qwaint The Kobo is great! Big beefy online bookstore. And you can config it to turn off entirely after an interval, which makes it slow to start but preserves battery like the Kindle doesn't to my knowledge. I have both.

Apparently one of the most common uses of LLMs in #academia is copy editing: cleaning up your #writing on points of spelling, grammar and style. This is wildly unattractive to me. I love writing. My personal style, my personal voice, are extremely high priorities to me. It annoys me no end when a journal editor replaces one of my unconventional style choices with something bland. If an editor ran a paper of mine through an #LLM I would scream bloody murder.

@jannem Yes indeed. My first reaction when reading LLM output was "Oh, if only the average archaeology student could write this well".

@kallekn @jannem I don't expect good style from Google Translate. But it can definitely spell.

@ArchaeoIain Sounds like crazy overkill to use that technology for a simple spell check. I use LibreOffice under Ubuntu Linux myself.

The Monday night Irish trad session at Wirström's pub is one of Stockholm's finest musical events, and very long-lived too. For the price of a glass of Sprite you get to hear great live music while sitting crammed in with the music in a 17th century vaulted cellar!

En kul grej med att vara ”en stor fisk i en liten skål” i sin musikgenre är att man ibland får headline:a på festivaler. Var i Florida förra året och ska till England på lördag på en sån grej. Man kan dricka öl när man jobbar (=spelar musik på scenen). Det tar effektivt död på all åldersnoja.

Foxgloves and hawkweed are really showing off on the way up in to the field

@Beedazzled Is Hawkwind playing a gig on your land as well?

Yay! The National Library's café in #Stockholm has opened again after closing in 2020! And in August the basement restaurant named for an early runologist's enormous note-taking tome will reopen too!
