Friday Varia and Quick Hits

It’s almost the end of the year, it’s -1 here in North Dakotaland, and the Archaeology of the Mediterranean World team is more or less comfortable by the fire. 

I have a pretty good feeling about 2019 and some ideas rattling around in my head that could be pretty fun, kind of interesting, and, if nothing else, neat.

If nothing else, there’s a pretty great list of works entering the public domain on January 1, 2019 including J.B. Bury’s A History of the Later Roman Empire from the Death of Theodosius I to the Death of Justinian. And Freud’s The Ego and the Id.

If these don’t tickle your fancy, maybe there’s something else in this list of quick hits and varia:

• TAG 2019: Slow Archaeology (CFP).

• They’ll pay you to live on… Antikythera.

• (An)Archaeology Zine.

• Database of Classical Scholars.

• Katalymata ton Plakoton on Cyprus.

• A Guide to Pitching Your Book at Conferences.

• Archaeology of Strikes and Revolution.

• Rome in Ruins.

• The sounds of Greece (H/t to Matt Baumann!).

• Free Mars!

• Creepy video game archaeology of an abandoned cult.

• What they took with them.

• MSG and Xenophobia (H/t to Dimitri Nakassis).

• What I’m reading: M. P. Leone and J.E. Knauff, Historical Archaeologies of Capitalism. Second Edition (2015). 

• What I’m listening to: Oliver Nelson, The Blues and the Abstract Truth, and Afro/American Sketches.

Mr. Caraher, tear down this wall!
