Archaeologist, Scientist, Teacher at Some Major University. I study material culture & its evolution, break rocks, irradiate stuff, write code, ride motorcycles. I like hot coffee, cold beer, and bad puns. http://people.smu.edu/mboulanger/https://bsky.app/profile/mtbarchaeology.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/mtbarchaeology.bsky.social/post/3ml5eoydlnk2rWe made the campus paper today! A nice feature on the lab I direct and the work we're doing every day to preserve Texas archaeology. This is what it's like to *DO* archaeology in the real world, rather than just talk about it on YouTube. https://smudailycampus.com/1069386/news/beneath-the-surface/05 May 2026 23:47 +0000at://did:plc:axtneu7bbqo7zu576br52ib6/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml5eoydlnk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/mtbarchaeology.bsky.social/post/3mjy2pkzo6k2aMy fellow MU alum over at @knowledgefight.bsky.social had better be 2-AM-at-Eastside-Tavern level drunk celebrating the news today.21 Apr 2026 03:39 +0000at://did:plc:axtneu7bbqo7zu576br52ib6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjy2pkzo6k2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/mtbarchaeology.bsky.social/post/3mjaaxljmek2qYesterday we were grateful to host Dr. Britt Bousman (Texas State University) for the Caroline B.
