Past as possibility: The potential for reflective engagement with prehistoric archaeology to facilitate ecological awareness and ecotherapy | Culture – Environment – Society

On which note, be really interested in getting your feedback on this: www.vr-elibrary.de/doi/10.14220.... Regardless, Hookland is definitely not cosy and nostalgic - more a liminal place of reflection!

Honestly, I’m still not sure where I stand on nostalgia, especially with all the psychological studies on it that say it can be good for well-being. I think it is both a warped gravity (love this btw!), but also maybe protective when we’re in dire need of it? Maybe it depends on the context??

Looking forward to chatting about my book #AnotherEngland at the forthcoming Folkestone book festival - exploring issues of national identity, meaning & belonging feels more important than ever👇

Free Electricity. Like, at no cost. For everyone. Now. Let's talk about affordability, abundance, and Australia--and why thanks to Trump we can't have nice things

If I were running in next year's midterms, I'd be saying: Aussies are getting free electricity, and we're getting huge price spikes.

Because they built solar, and Trump is blocking it.

If you’re wondering why archaeologists were upset about the Lost King film, you should read this and ask yourself how you would feel if someone misrepresented your profession and professionalism in this way. I also recommend @pittsmike.bsky.social book Digging for Richard III.

Wonderful to hear Sir David Attenborough talk so passionately on #BBC Radio 4 this morning about the potential 40-mile (64km) "wild" corridor that could be saved, inc., prehistoric rock carvings, if this campaign by @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social succeeds. www.wildlifetrusts.org/saving-rothb...

Go hállain!

Well thank fuck for some good news. Keep it coming.

😂Wow! Definitely fairy activity✨! Especially with all passage tombs they have there. Magic is most definitely afoot in Tipperary😂!

Did u know? Queen bumblebees are looking for places to hibernate, right now: loose mud, leaf piles, plant pots or, in this case, my ceramic organic wool-filled skep. If you do accidentally disturb a sleeping beauty, just gently cover her back up again, so she can complete her winter's rest.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐝

Lunch time quick read is a new blog @archscot.bsky.social: "This is the first in a series of blog posts where I will take you with me as I follow in the footsteps of Audrey Henshall & other women who pioneered archaeological research into the Neolithic of the west coast of Scotland." bit.ly/3IVkxWb

You’re a lucky guy!

Derrycunnihy is thought to have been the first place in Beara where the natural temperate rainforest was cleared for farming in the Neolithic, approx. 4000 BC.

Elsewhere on the peninsula (like where I am), it didn't happen until the Bronze Age, circa 1500 BC.

Only very tiny fragments now remain.

Yep! And it was delish!!
