posting a couple things to this empty account as notes for myself

#pubarch = u know
#scicomm = a broader scientific version of the above
#digiarch = digital method and practice in archaeology
#indigarch = Indigenous critiques of and Indigenous-centered approaches to archaeology

#crmarch = contract/cultural resource management archaeology
#femarch = feminist perspective in archaeology

New to Mastodon so a little #introduction - I’m a sometime archaeologist, previously working in #communications for the built environment & #heritage sectors.

Now post-PhD (landscapes of social reform, University of York) & working in an #AltAcademic role in #HigherEd in southwest England but still researching/writing on #HistoricalArchaeology whenever I can.

#Humanist, #comedy nerd, & dabbler in photography & music (mainly guitar). Prone to map geekery.

I did a talk for the North Burial Ground in Providence, RI tonight! It went really well & I got to talk about part of my phd research that I hadn't presented before! #histarch #cemeterychat
More gold mining stuff today, this time Vulture City itself! I've seen this site in too many ghost hunting shows so it was cool to see it irl & see how much restoration has been done since 2017! #vulturecity #arizona #histarch
Yesterday we visited the Verde Flat Cemetery from 1870, which served the mining town of Vulture City! The piles of rocks covering each grave were striking, not what we are used to seeing out east. #cemeterychat #histarch #arizona
Quickly popping in to say that I'm working on my 2nd book manuscript right now & I just passed the 70k word mark!! Nearly there folks! #amwriting #histarch #hexfoil
An introduction on this platform is in order! Hi, I'm Robyn, and I'm a PhD candidate in historical archaeology at Memorial University of Newfoundland & Labrador. My research focuses on C17th burial landscape development in colonial settlements (why are they in certain spaces, who got to use them, etc) & I also run a #gravestone conservation business with my husband here in #nfld. We also have 2 black cats named Sass & Giles! #archaeology #histarch #heritage #graveyard
Because I am a control freak, here is a handy list of #archaeology hashtags used across platforms:
#pubarch = public outreach, education, and collaboration with stakeholders in archaeology;
#scicomm = a broader scientific version of the above;
#digiarch = digital method and practice in archaeology;
#indigarch = Indigenous critiques of and Indigenous-centered approaches to archaeology;
#histarch = archaeology of the historic period;
#crmarch = contract/cultural resource management archaeology
