I am very much looking forward to this workshop at which I am speaking in Bonn in November, organised among others by @akjp89.bsky.social, and funded partly by @dependencybonn.de

You know that this is the sort of thing where a reliable encyclopaedic history is readily available after a few clicks no?

As I said in response to someone else on this part of the thread who then deleted his comment once I pointed this out: It's literally what's listed on the NEH website for this type of grant and is presumably what was also listed for the 2024 (nb.: pre-Trump) deadline that they applied for.

It's literally what's listed on the NEH website for this type of grant in terms of output and amount and is presumably what was also listed for the 2024 (note: pre-Trump) deadline that they applied for, which makes me find it hard to believe it's unprecedented as is being claimed here?

Just finally finished booking everything, so I'm looking forward to bringing this paper to @tag2025york.bsky.social this year, in the session on Experimental Archaeology organised by @archaeoteacup.bsky.social and Amber Roy.

Definitely one of the cooler routes I’ve gotten to do on my marathon training this year…

Stop trying to make ‘cliometrics’ happen. It’s not going to happen.
