So happy to be back with some old friends @SJSU #anthrotwitter #archaeotwitter

@eweissunburied @SJSU Why did you dig up your friends?

@eweissunburied @SJSU Cool, where’s your gran buried? I need some friends too.

@eweissunburied @SJSU Whoa why is this okay?

@eweissunburied @SJSU Check out Mrs Ed Gein over here

@eweissunburied @SJSU You should be ashamed of yourself. This photo is a clear example of how archaeologists disrespect our Ohlone ancestors & our living community— colonization in action. The people removed from their cemeteries aren’t objects to pose with, but people who had families and full lives.

@eweissunburied @SJSU Imma just going to point out that as an AF veteran, it would be a punishable offense to pose with the remains of a fallen enemy combatant. As a California native, and one whose ancestors were Yokut/Chuckchansi, I find this appalling. Remove this.

@eweissunburied @SJSU So which tribe was that skull you are holding stolen from?

@eweissunburied @SJSU What an excellent photo op that in no way makes you look like an out of touch ghoul.

@eweissunburied @SJSU Scientifically, they’re not your friends.

@eweissunburied @SJSU How ignorant and disrespectful. You have no right to handle, photograph or post this. Your arrogance is utterly disgusting. You shame your department and SJSU. Tamien Nation, the Indigenous Tribe of San Jose, calls for your immediate resignation/termination.

@eweissunburied @SJSU What's with the negative comments, what's the context?

@eweissunburied @SJSU First, this cancel culture is beyond ridiculous. To those who are so crammed up by this photo there is zero doubt in my mind they all have something to hide. I showed my kid all the posts on here and that yes jackasses can post on Twitter. I support Elizabeth.

@eweissunburied @SJSU You're taking away a tenure job from a non racist anthropologist

@eweissunburied @SJSU They aren’t your friends. Additionally, why are you posting a photo of yourself with human remains? And not wearing gloves?!

@eweissunburied @SJSU They were never, and are not your friends They are the earthy remains of indigenous people you see fit to hold hostage & refuse to return to their families in order to appease some unhealthy fixation you have I suspect, you have no friends after reading your 20 racist tweets

@eweissunburied You're a bad person

@eweissunburied @SJSU gettin' their ass beat in the qrts

@eweissunburied @SJSU Those aren’t your friends. They were people who didn’t ask to be stored in your psycho closet.

@eweissunburied @SJSU So many people have been affected by pan-C-vid. I don't see this as disrespectful at all... now if those were my people, and I actually knew who they were.. and I honestly doubt anyone can lay claim to that.. that'd be different

@eweissunburied @SJSU This is SO disrespectful. It genuinely seems like you have you no care or compassion for the descendants of these ancestors, or for the ancestors themselves. If you weren't tenured, you'd be O U T. DO NOT STUDY UNDER THIS WOMAN OR USE HER AS AN EXAMPLE

@eweissunburied @SJSU Return what was stolen

@eweissunburied @SJSU Digging up your dead relatives and pissing on them "for science"

@eweissunburied @SJSU Not even that skull likes you. You are awful

@eweissunburied @SJSU Can we go dig up your grandparents and pose with their skulls? *if this question offends you, please stop and think about why this picture doesn’t.*

@eweissunburied @SJSU Can we also post pics of Native women smiling while holding a dead white person's skull?

@eweissunburied @SJSU They’re not your friends you fucking weirdo

@eweissunburied @SJSU I see accusations of “disrespect” coming people as they disrespect science. I see accusations of “racism” coming from people as they judge someone by the color of her skin. I see claims of a proprietary bond to ancients by family relationship where knowledge is a stronger bond.

@eweissunburied @SJSU just busted out my calipers and it says here you're a dogfucker

@eweissunburied @SJSU You look just an evil as you are

@eweissunburied @SJSU They don't like you. You only like them bc they have no voice to call you out for your disgusting racism.
