Nicci Sherwood, a postdoc in #HARP, is doing some awesome replication and experimental work on #littlemuck stone scrapers to help determine what they were used for. Check out this awesome video she made of her progress. youtu.be/PG-CsWp6JIU

Americans owe $1.6 TRILLION in student debt. INSANE! @RepresentUs and I made a short film about how our corrupt political system got us here, and how we can FIX IT with the #ForThePeopleAct. Grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy. Then let’s get to work 👍

Here is a summary of part of my work on music archaeology in southern Africa. It's a 5-8 minutes read. Enjoy! theconversation.com/what-arc…
