Among the many drinking fountains in Basel, Switzerland, around 30 are adorned by the statue of a basilisk, the heraldic beast of the city. Despite growing up in Basel and living here on and off for over 20 years, I had never seen all of them. So as a summer running project, I visited each, covering a total of 51 km in just under 6 hours spread over seven separate runs.

While waiting to distribute it to specific lists, here is a Fediverse call to archaeologists and related professions to respond to my PhD research survey on archaeologists' use of #3D, with a focus on geospatial data.

It will only take 10 to 15 minutes and can be found here: https://forms.mapper.space/?r=junarka_en

Thanks in advance for sharing and participating!

(See https://journals.openedition.org/pm/4427 for a more complete presentation of my PhD project)

Time for a new #introduction!

I'm a former #geographer & #mapmaker, now working on a #PhD project in digital #archaeology, between #Prehistory and #openSource #geospatial.

I used to work as an #artist, I'm into #sailing (I was #livingAboard during a few years) and #musicMaking is my happy place. I'm also a happy #dad and I'm fluent in fr, en & es.

Finally, I'm the proud admin of https://Mapstodon.space, a great #Mastodon instance dedicated to maps — & full of decent and interesting people!
