If you’re looking for me on here, I’m over on Bluesky mostly now - and continue to post infrequently
Have just realised, having found some old files, that it was almost exactly 20 years ago that Chris, Jez and I held the first meeting of the @DiggersForum (16th Oct 2004). To be honest I didn’t expect that UK #archaeology would still need this voice in 2024, but it does

Delightful event to host as British Airways reopens direct flights between London and Tbilisi from next Spring🇬🇧🇬🇪
Our objective now is to triple the number of visitors and tourists to Georgia and support more trade and economic links✈️

Great news that @British_Airways will start direct flights on the London 🇬🇧 Tbilisi 🇬🇪 route from next year! Hope to see lots more business and tourist travel in both directions… mediacentre.britishairways.c…
On this day in 1989 - my first ever archaeological experience! Slightly shocked to realise that the first day of the Wroxeter training school was 35 years ago, which makes me feel very old indeed, but it set me on my way to a career I’ve (mostly) loved
2004> 2014> 2024… This year marked 22 years working in Samegrelo, west Georgia, since I started out there in 2002 before starting my PhD, so I wanted to add to the series of photos this summer

It is clear that @elonmusk needs to stay out of British politics.
RT if you agree.
Wonderful opportunity to talk about @_UoW veteran studentships in archaeology, and my work with UK, Georgian, and Ukrainian veterans @Nokalakevi at today’s symposium on “Using Archaeology for Recovery” organised by @richardhosgood & Mark Brisbane @BU_ArchAnth @AMPHORA_MHWB

A soggy Rishi Sunak announcing a general election while "Things Can Only Get Better" blares out feels quite on the nose..

this is just section 76 of the Venice Commission's trashing of the GD's law on "transparency of foreign influence".
Line by line, they take it apart. You could do dozens of tweets with their finding.
It is not surprising, but entirely stark.

German Ambassador to #Georgia Peter Fischer said that if the Foreign Agents law is adopted in its current form, #Germany will not vote in favor of opening #EU accession negotiations with Georgia.
