Given the rather horrid turn that this platform is taking I will no longer be checking it, please get in touch via bluesky or email instead. And please take care, these are tough times and we'll need all the kindness, strength, and solidarity we can muster.
I'm so very happy to finally share the *sung* version of the Kansala 2024 excavation report, composed and performed by the amazing Nino Galissa. Subtitles on (unless you speak Mandinka)! youtube.com/watch?v=F5G3hUW3…

Yesterday I was given the Amílcar Cabral pano de pinto and hat in acknowledgement for our work in Kansala. Honoured beyond words. May as well retire now, cannot trump this!
