When handling archaeological human remains gets weird
We’re all professionals, but sometimes you catch yourself realizing how weird things are looking when handling human remains
Trying to shake out clumped together dirt from someone skull
Brushing someone’s teeth with an actual toothbrush, something they have never done in their lives
Comparing someone’s bones to yours
Judging their dental hygiene
When the earworm of the day is Johnny Cash’ s “Ain’t No Grave”.
Scooping someone’s eye sockets clean with a spoon (or just their whole brain)
When some bones are just … off … you judge hard
Talking in your head to them as if they can hear you
Being a little bit too excited when the skeleton presents horrible (and possible cause of death) pathological lesions
A1-A2: man, there're so many words I need to know in order to say literally anything
B1-B2: wow, what I know is enough now
C1-C2: man, there're so many weirdly specific words I need to know in order to describe these weirdly specific things I've only seen once in my life. Also I forgot how to say ceiling.
The many sides of (bio)archaeology
You know when that big ass opportunity just presents itself and your life completely changes in a matter of ten days?
I won a pretty nice research grant almost unexpectedly and in a couple of days I had to pack four years of my life and start all over again.
I was extremely lucky because I’ll be working in my hometown and I’ll get to work on my PhD proposal while tutoring the students. It’s my dream job and so far I am enjoying it a lot. [(Also, this may sound weird to my non-Italian followers but finally I’m getting paid to do my job feels a bit surreal) In Italy many post grad don’t get paid. That was me until a month ago]
All of these changes are surely stressful but I kind of like the predicament of not knowing what life has in store for me and the feeling of always being on the go. I know it isn’t everyone cup of tea but as of now it’s mine.
Now, off to study some prehistoric kids and write a cool ass PhD proposal!
On a slightly controversial note, I'm really happy to have got the grant and I'm very privileged to have had the chance to move back and work where I grew up. However, I do want to point out a few downsides to this situation, which I'd like to share with my fellow academics.
I know academic life is mostly about moving around and being flexible, but they expected me to be ready to move and start working immediately. Again, that’s not a problem for me. I thrive on a fast-paced lifestyle and I’m always up for new challenges. However, the logistics of finishing projects with one institution, organizing a move (it was a horrible experience!), and diving immediately into a new job environment takes a lot of time. I'm only human with only 24 hours in a day to use. I can't help feeling like I have to handle more than I can take and feel pressured to do it all correctly and quickly. All I need is a little time to adjust! Also, professors should stop assuming we can read their minds and clearly state what they want from their team, especially when we're just starting out. Figuring all this out on my own has been the most frustrating part.
Has anyone else had this experience?
Story repeats itself. I’m moving again to pursue the career path of being an academic™️
Chaotic as usual

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
i need all the help i can get for finals
Hey so
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.
So you know.
This might be the real one, y’all.
Reblogging to spread the luck and the good fortune
i think as adults it’s our responsibility to be nice to kids and treat them with the respect we wish we got at that age and im not kidding or exaggerating in the least

My tolerance for homophobia, transphobia, racism, and any sort of bigot discrimination is zero but it gets to the negatives when it comes from fellow anthropologist/ anthropology students.
Are you really posting racist transphobic sh t in your ig stories right in front of your cultural anthropology textbook and introduction to human diversity 101 slides on your laptop?!
Why the f are you even studying these things for?

The lives of Upper Paleolithic European girls by Tom Björklund
not to sound corny but the textile arts make me feel connected to the world around me. it's so intentional and deliberate and when i sit and do it, i think a lot about how many other women that came before me used to do it, how many hands have used the same supplies i am using, and how many other people might be doing the same thing as me all across the world right now
one of my favourite things is when museums have really old sewing tools and they are so similar to the needles we use today but so many lifetimes have happened since they were last used
hundreds , maybe thousands of years old, yet so alike to what I use to create today
teenage me and current me are both depressed directionless girls, the only difference is that current me started appreciating the beauty of the world and realized how good it is to be alive despite it all
