Every morning I open Twitter and see yet more posts about whether or not the archaeology of southeast Türkiye is damaged 🤬Just stop. Millions of people have had their lives turned upside down. 18 students from our faculty are still unaccounted for #earthquaketurkey #Archaeology

We’re pleased to announce that National Museums Scotland will be transferring the House of Ni'isjoohl Memorial Pole to the Nisga’a Nation.

A Nisga’a delegation visited us in August to see the Pole and to make a formal request for its return.
