#Archaeology: if there was a non-selective, diamond open access (i.e. free to publish, free to read), post-publication peer review journal for field reports, would you use it?

The idea being to publish basically any description of primary archaeological results from anywhere in the world, subject to basic checks for research ethics, without worrying about things like significance, novelty, or English-language editing, that can otherwise make it difficult to publish that kind of thing.

@joeroe 1000% yes on a reader front (I'm disabled enough that I can't excavate, etc.)

I make youtube videos about archaeology and I try to use sites as examples, but it can be really difficult to access information about them, especially things like site plans, without having access to university library permissions and such.

I'm live over on Twitch! It's high time these chickens got a coop, and then we're going hunting for FROGS!!!

This is the face I make when I'm trying to explain archaeological sampling strategies in a Minecraft video 🏺

My explanation is pretty great - don't get me wrong! But my goodness does my brain hurt trying to explain it and demonstrate it in Minecraft 😂

New video Thursday... Friday at the latest 👀

I'm live on Archaeo SMP over on Twitch! Today I'm planning on spreading some snow in the winter village - come hang out!

Some of our drone footage from our survey of Libarna showing the Via Postumia, one of the main arteries crossing northern Italy, and some buildings on either side. We got a great level of detail in the images from that year due to a rather severe drought. None of the features are above ground. These are all crop marks.

I know it's November, but a lot of you might not have seen what I do over on YouTube... and let's be honest, I'm SUPER proud of how this video turned out!

I'm working on a new episode for my Bite-Size Archaeology series, but in the meantime, enjoy the origins of trick-or-treating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPxGEHTVSkQ
