Anybody know anyone who controls an endowed guest professorship or annual lecture (series)? One that could be manned with a fun and lively Swedish archaeologist? Please put my name forward! I know French and German.

Moray: Inca Innovation in the Andes
Moray, in Peru’s Sacred Valley, features circular terraces believed to be an ancient agricultural lab. The Incas used these to simulate different climates and grow crops at varying altitudes centuries ahead of their time.
A perfect blend of science, nature, and wisdom.

Fascinating world of ancient #glass: glass square bottles were a common type of storage and transport vessels in the #Roman Empire. The square shape makes packing easier and saves space.
The bottles were used to store/transport spices, medicines, balms, perfumed oils, lotions etc.

Time for a new #introduction!

I'm a former #geographer & #mapmaker, now working on a #PhD project in digital #archaeology, between #Prehistory and #openSource #geospatial.

I used to work as an #artist, I'm into #sailing (I was #livingAboard during a few years) and #musicMaking is my happy place. I'm also a happy #dad and I'm fluent in fr, en & es.

Finally, I'm the proud admin of https://Mapstodon.space, a great #Mastodon instance dedicated to maps — & full of decent and interesting people!

"When frogs dream, lichens smile. Ecological connections were explored anew. Artists recorded conversations of small creatures. People sat fascinated in flower meadows. Children laughed in the forest with knobbly mosses and chatty ants."

Disover my virtual exhibit of #BiodiversityShrines - about finds in a fictional future: https://www.cronenburg.net/biodiversity/
It was a real exhibit, now saved online.
