AIA/APA 2012 - Live Tweeting
I'm at the AIA/APA meeting this weekend, and this afternoon's slate of papers looks pretty awesome. So awesome, in fact, that there is a giant conflict from 2:50-4pm: the Presidential Plenary Session on Death & Burial conflicts with Finding Peasants in Mediterranean Landscapes. It's the Sophie's choice of Roman bioarchaeology...
At any rate, I will be attempting to live-tweet the talks sporadically this morning and definitely from 2:30-5pm today, using the hashtag #aiaapa. Or, of course, you can follow me @BoneGirlPhD.
These are the talks that I'll be going to:
Saturday, January 7
Current Research at Nemea
But I may also duck back into Finding Peasants for Rob Witcher's (U Durham) talk Stuffed or starved? Evaluating models of Roman peasantries at 3:05 and Kim Bowes' (U Penn) talk Excavating the Roman peasant.
So please join me - vicariously or with your own tweets - for these sure-to-be-interesting talks!
(P.S. If you are at the meetings and want to say hi, I'm the only person wearing a skull-themed scarf. And it's gotten me a whole lot of weird looks already... :)
