One of my friends left Copenhagen yesterday morning but arrives in Belfast in two hrs...
Belfast, @EAAarchaeology
Pubs and live music. Loading up before tomorrow's big start.
@Han_Dansken det er ikke engang i min top-100 over ting jeg havde lyst til at lære om.
@Han_Dansken havde du regnet med at skulle lære om fundamentering af jernbaner da du startede på studiet???

Back from the summer holidays. This week I'm planning my teaching in the fall semester and preparing my presentation for EAA 2023.

... Also, still waiting for permissions to sample for ZooMS.

However, coming back to the first screenshot, what is perhaps even more interesting - and frankly concerning - is the fact that searches on archaeology seems to be on the decline. I wonder what drives that?
But things are getting weirder. Most of the searches on archaeology in 2010 seems to come from Iceland!
Seems like the interest spiked just before christmas of ‘10. Looking up the wiki of events in archaeology (yes, that is a real page) doesn’t reveal any significant events just before christmas - or in December for that matter. Curiouser and curiouser.
Even in here in Denmark “archaeology” was a more popular search term than the Danish, “arkæologi”.
For a brief moment in the year 2010 AD, suddenly the whole wide world was interested in archaeology.
