40 years digging holes!
My first excavation 23rd February 1986 (Quay House, Exeter). I've loved every day (rain or shine) and looking forward to the next site (the next hole)...

Cover of 'Violent Waters: Environmental Politics in Early Modern England' by Elly Robson Dezateux
*Violent Waters: Environmental Politics in Early Modern England*
An important new book from @ellydezateux.bsky.social shows 'how environments were politically constructed and contested, and how environmental concerns inflected politics'. 🗃️

Listen to Omar Jabary Salamanca. Writer, teacher, and organizer whose work explores how power operates through the ordinary systems that shape everyday life.
Founding member of The Kitchen and University Workers for Palestine, he talks at @radiowebmacba.bsky.social about infrastructural violence.
It looks like excellent work, I look forward to reading it. You never know, one day people researching barn raising might refer to the building dynamics and participation in barrow building.

‘Honey and salt – land smell and sea smell,
as in the long ago, as in forever.
The days pick me up and carry me off,
half-child, half-prisoner,
on their journey that I’ll share
for a while.
They wound and they bless me
with strange gifts:
the salt of absence,
the honey of memory.’ Norman MacCaig

This chapter is the result. Drawing on Ammar Azzouz's work on Domicide, I tried to use his frameworks to rethink the third century in Roman Syria using archaeological evidence.

The Twentieth Window. Midwinter Eve. Two figures in the snow, high on Pooksdown Hill. Old Fox and the King of Gold. The sun is setting in the west, and lamps are being lit in the windows of the hamlets and villages, festoons of glittering amber across the snow. How is the world, asks Old Fox. In shivers, answers the King, in shivers.
