The First Lego League is a competition that schools from all over the place compete in. As part of the competition they need to consult with an expert. A lot of clubs use our program to make that connection.

This year's theme is archaeology. It's all-hands-on-deck for archaeologists.

On a beach in Oahu, 26 ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs—18 of which depict anthropomorphic stick figures—were exposed that were likely carved 600 years ago, a few centuries after the first Hawaiians arrived.

A couple of present and former ANU Archaeology students have been working to develop a board game inspired by the Deep Past called Cultivaria. They've (quite literally) just launched their kickstarter and I know a few of you love games so... #archaeogaming 🏺

Cultivaria

Bringing Archaeology to the table.

My assistant met with curation officials at one government agency today. They are "ecstatic" about our point morphology study & have open their doors to us. #archaeology

Movie sets. Material objects to portray fictitious worlds in a digital form to the public. The monumental sets made for film remain as tourist sites. What messages continue for the public long after the images disappear from the screen? #archaeology #pseudoarchaeology #heritage #historicpreservation
