Finally, Jessica Thompson thinking about the relationships between researchers and the communities living around the sites they study:

And this is @ceciliapad.bsky.social showing that adaptability has defined our species since its very origins: no social order is inevitable and no structure of power or inequality is fixed.

What is it, we can actually really find out in #archaeology? What do we *want* to find out?

Here's Julia Granato pondery how the stories we tell as archaeologists are the stories we carry with us all the time:

Speaking of that: With #Occupied there's also a (of course hypothetic) series (from 2015 already!) about how a modern European society (indeed Norway in this case) might cope with a present-day (in this case Russian) invasion and occupation; indeed recommended:

This concept of #AutomaticResistance is a cornerstone of Nordic defense doctrine.

With their "Direktiver for militære befalingsmenn og militære sjefer ved væpnet angrep på Norge" issued on June 10, 1949, Norway has a similar directive setting out the duties for Norwegian officers during an attack.

So, what the directive actually means is to prevent a situation where a foreign power "surprises" the Danish government into a quick surrender (as happened in 1940) by making resistance automatic by law.

Determined to never repeat the 1940 collapse, Danish government issued a Royal Ordinance on March 6, 1952, mandating that "... in the event of an attack (...) the attacked forces shall immediately take up the fight without waiting for or seeking orders."

April 9, 1940, Nazi Germany invaded Denmark & Norway, simultaneously from land, sea, air.

Due collapsing communication, many units were unaware the country was under attack until German troops were upon them - by the time orders to resist reached the border, the government had already capitulated.

Not in the cruel manipulation and distortion of actual human remains for the sake of creating a sensation imho.
