About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Experimenting. :)
I get that, but not a fan. I like your submissions because I at least am left with the impression you saw read and deemed them worthy to share. Bots seem...spammy and indiscriminate.
Just my two cents.
I am troubleshooting a bot. :)
I think it is fine if the bot post these "This week in ____" style posts in the communities occassionally, but probably not a good idea to just make it spam posts all day.
Yes, actually that's a actually good idea. I never thought about that. I can do that quite easily already with my rss feeds. I wasn't setting up a permanent bot here. I'm trying to get a space weather bot working and just needed a few others to test against. Looking at the bot behaviour. :)
