Posted 3 days ago and STILL no correction from @archaeologymag.bsky.social .
Screenshot of Facebook post by the official "Archaeology Magazine" account on 2 June 2025. Text reads: "#OTD in 1848, Confederate soldiers surrendered to Federal troops in Galveston Harbor in Texas, during the end of the American Civil War, just weeks prior to the occupation of Texas and freeing of the enslaved African American population in Texas on Juneteenth. Read about the Nautilus expedition from the city to find a 18th or 19th-century shipwreck in the Gulf of Mexico."

They say death occurs in threes, but I still wasn't prepared for this one. Another legend and mentor gone.

Headshot of an older white man with a full white beard and mustache, smiling at a point just off camera. He is wearing a beige bucket hat pinned up on the sides, wire-framed glasses, and blue long-sleeved button-up shirt with a red t-shirt underneath. He is framed by thick, green tree-like vegetation in the background.

"Mysterious" ancient bog body was a woman, not a man as originally thought.

At least the archaeologists weren't "baffled".
Screenshot of a post by the official account for "Archaeology Magazine" on February 25, 2025. Text reads: "Recent osteoarchaeological analysis conducted has revealed that a mysterious ancient 17- to 22-year-old bog body uncovered by peat harvesters in 2023 in northern Ireland and dated to between the 4th and 1st century B.C. is not a man, as originally thought, but a woman who may have been the victim of a human sacrifice ritual that was popular in Iron Age northern Europe."

I'm not suggesting, advocating for, encouraging, or condoning violence in any way, but we all read this email the same way, right?

Grammar matters, kids.

In the late 19th century, convicts forced to work the local sugar plantations referred to Sugar Land, Texas as "Hell-hole on the Brazos".

This means Trump's inauguration will coincide with Hell actually freezing over.

I am absolutely heartbroken.💔

Photo of 3 archaeologists (one white woman and two older white men) taken during a celebratory event for Sheffield Archaeology's 50th anniversary. From left to right, individuals increase in height. All are dressed in professional business attire. On the left, a white woman in her early 30s with long reddish-blond hair and black-rimmed glasses is smiling from ear-to ear. In the middle, a man with glasses in his 60s, shoulder-length white hair, white beard, and white mustache has a closed-mouth smile of amusement. On the right, a 70-year old man with glasses, bald on top, but with a crown of short white hair, tilts his head towards the other two, with a slightly upturned, closed-mouth expression and raised eyebrows.
