DrDonnaYates @DrDonnaYates@scholar.social

I'm an #archaeologist who is somehow now a lecturer in #criminology studying art, antiquities, and fossil-related crimes. I'm looking to follow people working in #archaeology #palaeontology #art #arthistory #sociology and the likes.

I post art and antiquities crime news and photos of the places where I work.

@DrDonnaYates What is a fossil-related crime? Is that where someone steals a fossil? Or is it, like, beaning someone with a coelacanth?

@wohali Either! I'm mostly working on the stealing side, but fossil assault would be something I'd record :) Have a look at http://news.culturecrime.org/arttype/fossils&rocks.html

@DrDonnaYates There were a bunch of thefts from the Yale Peabody Museum while I was an undergrad there. I'm having trouble digging up the articles at the Yale Daily News website, though.
