Hello Mastodon, I'm Nina, an #archaeologist, specialising in #Roman and #Greek #archaeology. Currently I'm the head of the archaeological department at the Landesmuseum Württemberg in Stuttgart, but soon new adventures lie ahead as the permanent representative of the director of the Archäologisches Landesmuseum Baden-Württemberg.
And I like Star Trek! 🖖

Before we started research, terminals were assumed to be cast directly onto neck rings.

What we've shown is some torcs are made of sheet gold, some have terminals cast separately & some cast-on...but they fail every time!!

Bubbles, holes, overruns, cracks - we've not found one cast/cast-on terminal that worked!

Why? We think because cast is copying sheet torcs - it's a method that works in sheet, but can't work in casting thanks to shape of torus & thin wall required.

'Do you have any more free stuff for us?' We hear you ask.

Well, yes, yes we do! 😊

We also produce book reviews, which are free to read online!!

Allison Mickels book "Why those who shovel are silent" is an excellent description of the way we as Europeans work in West Asia, even today. By utilising non-knowledge, workers try to keep their job instead of participating in the dig. Recommend to read!

#OnThisDay, 28 Nov 1967, PhD student Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the existence of pulsars.

Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's using it to set up a foundation to improve diversity in STEM.

Noticing a lot of weekend chatter about helping new people onboard and I literally cannot stress the enough - the experience changes entirely once you follow about 200 people.

Then your home timeline fills up, and you find more people to follow/weed out some of the randos you followed at first.

This place is NOT going to get "busier" if you do not follow people; there are so many posts going on that you are not seeing.

Use "Federated" and "Local" find ppl; follow liberally. It works.

We're new here, so it's probably #introduction time! 👋

Corroded lumps are revealed as pieces of a tanged razor under X-ray. Late Iron Age, north-east Anatolia. #Archaeology #AncientNearEast #Ironage #corrosion

Quick reminder that not every torc is #gold and shiny!! 😉

These, from Snettisham, are simple and made from copper alloy (Bronze) and baser gold alloy.

While following a lot of people can populate your Home feed significantly, sometimes people (like me) end up boosting a lot and that can unexpectedly hinder your own experience.

So if you like someone's specific posts and don't want to follow their boosts, you can go to their profile under the [...] button, and select the "Hide boosts from account" button.

There is no algorithm on Mastodon. You have ownership and control over every filtering decision instead of some robot.

So, the European Union has set up its own Mastodon instance, EU Voice, as an official channel/platform for all its many institutions - what a great initiative https://social.network.europa.eu/about
