Still trying to learn my way around the #Fediverse. Is it one sign on for all fediverse.party or do I sign up for each separately?

Doing more mobile phone archaeogaming and finding another misuse of the term archaeology. In the game Time Raiders you play as a tomb raider. Unethical criminal but at least with the right title. The gacha box for artifacts is a different story. Label "Archaeology Blind Box" the players exchange coupons for relics. Shame

I've been playing the mobile MMO Dark Nemesis and one of the side quests is collecting artifacts. And by collecting you find special coins and coupons to buy artifacts. So you're not the looter. Just trafficking in looted goods. But I got the "Professor of Archaeology" title above my head.

All #archaeology, #history, and #heritage is political. There is no neutral ground.

From the excavators to the writers of the books, papers, presentations, and reports. Everyone with a hand in the process is contributing to the analysis of a project. Treat everyone with respect. Which is not just acknowledgement but also wages, benefits, and a safe workplace.
