Bye bye Ireland and @uccarchaeology #baf2017 was brilliant and I really enjoyed myself- hope you've had a good afternoon! See you in Cardiff @mgknight24 for more #pastinthepast #mnemonics #WeNeedToFindABetterHashtag
Animal cortical bone plates- what are they? Very small? What possible use could they have? No perforations #baf2017
A parallel - another cist with several individuals cremated and bone artefacts #baf2017
Other bone artefacts from the Staarvey Farm, Isle of Man #baf2017
Self explanatory #baf2017
Different area, different choice of material for dagger pommels #baf2017
There are more bone pommels than I knew! Stuart Needham classified them (see slide), often pommel was found detached/snapped off from blade/handle; knife wouldn't have been bigger than a table knife #baf2017
What a brilliant find! #baf2017
Here's the next paper, given by Rachel Crellin and Chris Fowler #baf2017
This needs no words #baf2017
Importance of ditches and alignments #baf2017
Ditches important for closing off areas or enclosing areas. These two individuals were buried in a Dutch- one looking out, the other inward, isotope analysis possibly indicating they were placed looking towards the area they came from (East/West) #baf2017
West Amesbury farm, 1450-1300BC broadly contemporary with child burial at Druids Lodge #baf2017
Excavations of linear features- system of ditches, fields or enclosures- excavated area finding post holes and BA flints #baf2017
EBA and MBA activities (lithic scatters, settlements etc) in the WHS area #baf2017
Stonehenge overview and dating- like the Arreton Type axe rock art carvings- #baf2017
Next speaker is Jonathan Last #baf2017
A very good question- this is something we really need to look into further- looking forward to your results, Arjan! #baf2017
This is the dataset Arjan will be working on #baf2017 there are three themes: Feasting, Relational Identities, Token Deposits (bones and objects)
Very detailed analysis of Dutch urnfield burials- who is being buried and what with? #baf2017 no axes in graves
I want that book!!!!! #baf2017 I need that book- @uccarchaeology if you have Arjan's email address please pm me!
Next speaker after coffee is Arjan Louwen #baf2017
In a nutshell.... #baf2017
These are Joanna's research aims, bearing in mind bodies could have been disturbed #baf2017
Next speaker is Joanna Higgins who is looking into the taphonomy in EBA graves #baf2017
These are the questions Mark will be looking into: power and ideology and how this may be reflected in graves: a very localised approach #baf2017
This is the cemetery Mark is concentrating on- a much more local approach; analysing grave goods, grave inventories and possible funerary rituals that may be observed #baf2017
Speaks for itself... #baf2017
Plus sub adults more likely to be buried in multiple graves #baf2017
