Happy to see the work by Wieke de Neef and me being reposted!

For reference, here is the paper where the image is from: Italy's empty hillforts: reassessing urban-centric biases through combined non-invasive prospection methods on a Samnite site.

🚨 New JAS paper! 🚨 We modeled #Qin / #Han wall construction using #rstats + #QuartoPub to show collapse wasn’t just about cost—logistics broke the system. Supplying 350k+ forced migrants likely strained >30% of the Qin state’s population. #Archaeology

Thrilled to see the #EAC guidelines on #LiDAR in #archaeology published! Grateful for the chance to work with — and learn from — amazing colleagues. And the cherry on top: a @ttu.edu #DARELab image made the cover! 🎉

First post after the migration – what better way to kick things off than having the latest cover page of @antiquityj.bsky.social feature a recent paper from my project! 🔥

A stunning blend of lush forests 🌳 and #lidar ✨ brings this #Samnite #hillforts to life!

And you should definitely check out the article featuring that image! ... I admit I might be slightly biased as one of the authors, but I truly appreciate you liking the forest-lidar blend! 🫠
