"Air raids are not only wrong. They are loathsome and disgusting. If you had ever seen a child smashed by a bomb into something like a mixture of dirty rags and cat’s meat you would realize this fact as intensely as I do." - J.B.S. Haldane, 1938.

There’s a military installation 100m from my daughter’s primary school. There’s a WWII bomb crater in their playing field. Ffs people. Like anything could ever justify this shit.

One aspect of this whole thing is the need to invest in deep, meaningful, collaborative, international historical research, looking at multiple institutional archives (not just in museums) and personal ones where available.

Slide that demonstrates that mental models suffer when an archaeologist just uses photogrammetry. The slide text says: Model of mental model creation during photogrammetry
Relatively little interaction with complex mental processes that are key to interpretation in archaeology

Teaching Fieldwork & Digital Recording in our special topics module today. I'm still forever salty that one of the reviewers made us take this figure demonstrating the failings of photogrammetry for the creation of mental models out of our Aide Memoire paper. 🏺

Our third CISA seminar and the brilliance of Muna Dajani and how to speak of a river! Oh how she presenced that 9km of the Wadi in Gaza - people and heritage and ecologies!!
A big thank you to our amazing audience for their thoughtful questions and insightful discussion -

A photo of a camel being led by men. The camel has intricate patterns cut into its hair.

Everyone once in a while I come across something that reminds me that we have no idea what things looked like in the past.
