Good morning Rio! Very much looking forward to a week of work with the very talented team of Think Tank FGV Conhencimento and the municipality of Rio de Janeiro to discuss urban heritage conservation and transformation and the role of digital technologies in this context

I had the pleasure to work with the #FGV team in Rio de Janeiro on their excellent Urban Debates project, in the context of the development of Porto Maravilha and the important UNESCO WHS Cais Do Valongo, the main port of entry for enslaved Africans in Brazil and the Americas

From Tuscany to Edinburgh from the air..via Bass Rock

Very much looking forward to contributing to this newly funded research project on conflict archeology and the politics of the past led by Xavier Rubio-Campillo DIDPATRI at the University of Barcelona!

A new and important resource for archaeology, in part a legacy of Ateneo Human Rights Center MicroPasts, 10 years after the project's launch.

So happy to be involved in this outstanding work with Chiara Bonacchi and jessica witte. Given recent events, this work is timely showing how the past can evoke such strong emotions online

Thrilled to announce our new #PLOSONE paper! 🥳 My brilliant co-authors (Chiara Bonacchi and Mark Altaweel) and I examine references to the past in polarised discourse online, a study which feels more important than ever in our current sociopolitical climate.

Political uses of the ancient past on social media are predominantly negative and extreme / Chiara Bonacchi, Jessica Witte & Mark Altaweel journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… PLOS ONE #OpenAccess Chiara Bonacchi jessica witte Mark Altaweel

"Os textos de Facebook que NON contiñan palabras clave relativas ao pasado da Idade do Ferro, romano e medieval (IARM) eran principalmente neutrais e os textos que SI contiñan palabras chave IARM (sobre esas épocas) expresaban máis sentimentos negativos e extremos"

Manuel Gago Merece a pena seguir o traballo de Chiara Bonacchi. Desenvolve proxectos moi valiosos sobre o papel do Patrimonio e a Arqueoloxía nas redes sociais. Bótalle un ollo a proxectos como Ancient Identities 😉
