Hallooo!
Hello! Since @chaotic-archaeologist was lovely enough to send a bunch of diggers my way last night, I thought I’d share some resources for you new followers. I have an arch/anth background and am currently studying forensic archaeology, so many of these Twitters are forensic arch/anth-related (Also to be found here: writing, science rants, friendly fandom chatter, social change and general nerdy infodumps.)
Following is a longpost of arch, anth & forensics resources.
Being based in BC, I follow a bunch of BC and Pacific Northwest archaeology tumblrs, who are more than welcome to hop on and introduce themselves and add their favourite resources.
It’s pretty easy to find archaeology & anthropology tumblrs – we all tend to have one or both of those terms in our profiles or posts. I’d also recommend searching on “museum” or “collection”. Oh, and all the sciences that are digger-adjacent! I’ve been enjoying @mapsontheweb, for example. @arsanatomica posts interesting cases of skeletal, physical and forensic anomalies (these may be disturbing for some, but if you are into forensic mysteries, you’ll love it.)
Most professional organizations, universities etc. seem to use Twitter as their main social media tool, likely because of the generational flow of such things. There is certainly plenty of archaeology on Facebook, too, though it seems to be mainly specific university student associations, or field school blogs. There are some useful professional networking FB pages that will ask you to apply to join, because they discuss sensitive medical or cultural issues. (Paleopathology, The Forensic Sphere, BioArchaeology Training etc.)
Twitters I’ve found useful and/or interesting are:
Professional Organizations:
CAPA-ACAP (Canadian Association for Physical Anthropology/L’Association Canadienne D’Anthropologie Physique)
British Association for Forensic Anthropology
GSA Geoarchaeology Division (Geosociety community addressing geoscientific & archaeological questions. Affiliate of @SAAorg Geoarchaeology Interest Group)
AIA (Archaeological Institute of America)
NOSASArchaeologyBlog (North of Scotland Archaeological Society)
American Anthropological Association
Society of Ethnobiology
AAPA (American Association of Physical Anthropologists)
General Archaeology Outreach:

DINAA Project (Digital Index of North American #Archaeology)
Archaeological Society of British Columbia

Digdoodles (Illustrating archaeology for everyone!)
Zooarchaeology
Indigenous Canadian Archaeology:
Joanne Hammond (I am including her personal Twitter as she is deeply connected and constantly posting news)
Wild Archaeology (Educational series exploring ancient archaeological sites across North America.)
Indigenous Archaeology Collective
FPCC (First Peoples' Cultural Council of BC)
Haida Gwaii Museum
Social Progress & Diversity in Archaeology:
Archaeologists Against Racism #BLM
SCWIST (Society for Canadian Women in Science & Technology)
Association for Feminist Anthropology
trowelblazers (Pioneering women in archaeology, palaeontology & geology — past & present.)
Women in forensics
Trans Doe Task Force (Finding and researching #transgender and gender variant Jane and John Doe coldcases)
Forensic Archaeology:
BC Coroners Service
Canadian Society of Forensic Science
Juno Lab (Childhood skeletal growth & biomechanics. Working out of @SFUArchaeology.)
BAHID (British Association for Human Identification)
ForensicScience
Strange Remains (A compendium of corpses, bizarre history, and macabre excavations)
Forensic Archaeology
Forensic Magazine
Museums:
UBC Museum of Anthropology
Mütter Museum (Medical history museum)
Smithsonian
Penn State Museum
British Museum
Universities and Field Schools:
HECALab (Historical Ecology & Coastal Archaeology Lab at University of Victoria)
IFR (International Field Research - summer field schools)
Transylvania Bioarchaeology Field School
BC History
CAHID (Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification, at Dundee Uni)
UHI Archaeological Institute (University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute)
ICArEHB (Interdisciplinary Center for Archaeology and Evolution of Human Behaviour)
Traceolab (Lab specialized in the study of macro- and microscopic wear traces and residues on prehistoric stone artefacts. University of Liège (BE).)
Phew! And that’s barely a surface glance.
Again, to find individual researchers, writers and academics, just use the usual search terms. There is a HUGE Arch/Anth Twitterverse. You might be surprised to see how many of the authors you are citing in papers are very active online and happy to discuss their research – and offer encouragement!

reevaluating trevalgon hill. possible stone dolmen/kist. at the summit of trevalgon hill at the trig point there are two standing stones or upright boulders that i have often thought bore closer inspection. the one nearest to rosewall has the remains of a square earthen pit and could be a candidate for a kist and sits between the two stones. there are signs of packing stones or the remains of a stone cairn around the two stones and the whole is sited on substantial grounders in the manor of many monuments locally and elsewhere that ‘capture’ the ‘power of the stones’ for ceremonial purposes.

Oh, good! At least it's not just me thinking 35 was a lot. "Potential candidates should expect to excavate up to 35 shovel tests per day in rugged, hilly and brushy terrain." Is exactly what they said. It's the Oklahoma one on archaeologyfieldwork.
I’ve heard of the company, but have no direct experience with them. I think they are one of my bigger companies for the Midwest. I don’t have much experience working in the Midwest, apart from a brief stint in Colorado, but from what I remember, it’s pretty rough. They worked us hard, the pay was shitty, we were in the middle of nowhere, and no one ever seemed to take breaks. It’s a recipe for quick burnout, if you ask me.
