Indiana Jones doesn't work here...

...and neither does Dr. River Song. But that's okay. Real archaeologists may not get into gun fights so often or outrun giant boulders, but that doesn't mean that real archaeology isn't exciting.

I've started this blog because I'd like to share some of the real world archaeological articles, pictures, and video clips that I find fascinating, as well as some of my own thoughts. I hope that you'll find them interesting, too.

It's going to be fun!

But how can you say "trust me" when I don't know anything about you?

Fair enough! I'll share a little about myself. My name is Jennifer and I'm a mature student, returning to university to finish my anthropology degree after a 10-year absence from academia. I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time with my 3-year-old daughter. I write a weekly column for a popular feminist blog, and I am a regular contributor to a podcast on intersectionality and geek culture.
