Maritime Archaeology! Built Heritage! Trees! All together = perfect! Nice work here from @dendrorodbale.bsky.social

Ship’s floor (oak) reused as lintel. Removed during construction work from Cambrian Place Swansea. Dendro dated to spring summer 1778 and sourced from a locally grown Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 tree! #dendrochronology #wales #archaeology

Wishing my colleagues from ButCH Sef Penrose, @laraband.bsky.social & @angelapiccini.bsky.social a fabulous Gullfest more than human art and heritage FTW www.plymouthherald.co.uk/whats-on/wha...

For #LondonRiversWeek I'm sharing a photo of the Channelsea, much culverted but where it emerges is a lovely marshy spot, cared for by #SurgeCollective #BlancSceol and the site, recently, for #LeakyInstruments workshops on how we can live ethically with rivers #RiverCommons

Thames through Time is back in Birkbeck for the 2nd week, and the MA Archaeology & Heritage student Christopher Snary @bbkhistorical.bsky.social has brought in a new model! This one is a scaled model of The Admiralty Dockyard. Archaeology and model-making, it’s important!!

Excellent piece on sonification and why we might do it https://www.leidenmadtrics.nl/articles/metrics-sonification-as-a-new-way-to-convey-bibliometric-data

This is well worth a go! Have you seen it @lornarichardson.bsky.social ?

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

Super 2 days teaching building recording & talking sound w/ @bbkhistorical.bsky.social #ThamesThroughTime BA & MA fieldschool students. We all discovered much more about this GII wall than the List description! Thx so much @lesleymcf.bsky.social @drclaireharris.bsky.social for the invite!

Thames through Time @bbkhistorical.bsky.social and an archaeology of sound with @laraband.bsky.social and @drclaireharris.bsky.social!

Like Section 28 in the UK, the 'promotion' of DEI is defined as any representation of diversity, showing anything other than cis, white, straight, able bodied men. And lazy implementation takes 'don't say gay' to ridiculous new heights

Yellow #DistanceDrift for spring and (nearly) St David's Day. Fun to be joining in again with @soniaoverall.bsky.social longstanding remote and communal wander, felt just the weather for it!

Morning! We haven't had a colour #DistanceDrift for a long while & today's proximity to St David's Day tells me it's once again time to follow yellow. Wherever you wander, indoors or out, be led by yellow objects & flashes. Share finds as you go or at the end - bonus cheers for daffodils!

Just discovered that the Scottish Wildlife Trust publish downloadable snorkel trails! #tinyjoys scottishwildlifetrust.org.uk/things-to-do...

Well that was a great day, thinking about silence as presence and ways of 'noising', socially engaged practice and the ethics of tech plus the ASR captioning providing a theme fitting accidental aural misguide. Fantastic conversations on and of stage #ListeningTogether #CRiSAP

Weather great nice site we've got a sex maniac one side and a Russian spy on the other.

Waiting for the #CRiSAP Listening Together: Practices for Community Centred Listening symposium to start at UAL: www.arts.ac.uk/whats-on/lis... A full house and super excited chatting and laughing going on for what should be a fantastic day with a stellar line up!

Thinking of a PgT qualification? Come chat to me about MSc Heritage at UoS Open Day. Innovative course, leading experts, key theoretical & practical issues (eg identity, community, museums/collections, intangible cultural heritage, nature/culture, & more!) www.stir.ac.uk/study/visit-...

Oliver Rackham died 10 years ago today; there’s so much in these books to inform a more ecologically minded archaeology that is relevant to current conversations about landscape and nature…

If you would like your work to feature in our series this month you can send us details via [email protected] or our DMs (50-100 words, 1-10 photos) 2/2 #gbtqhistorymonth

I am composing my overture, and I am thinking about how the asteroids were formed.

I am delighted to share that the SPMA is celebrating #LGBTQHistoryMonth with a series of features on LGBTQ+ post-medieval archaeological research being carried out by our members & trustees.

Something cheery for the weekend! Delighted to see that my guest episode on Bonkers About Beach Huts podcast is now live! I chat with host Natalie about historical research, #seaside history & of course #BeachHuts! #LocalHistory #SeasideHistory #UKCoast omny.fm/shows/bonker...

Sámi archaeology for #SamiNationalDay Trees were seen by the Sámi as mediators between people and deities, and were likely engraved with crosses whilst offerings were made. Intensive forestry is destroying culturally modified trees at an alarming rate. 🆓 https://doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2024.184

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

For more than ten years I’ve kept loose batteries in a metal tin, and yesterday evening I opened it and two of them were red hot, and I thought oh dear, that’s not good, and I looked up whether you should keep batteries in a metal tin, and let’s say I’m glad that I’m not long dead in a house fire.

Well, now it’s out I have thoughts. For now, I just want to ask… 🏺 #archaeology 🧵 1/

🚦🎧 How do you turn the simple clicking of a pedestrian crossing into an epic full-band composition? Listen to this incredible piece from Matsya, who have transformed a set of traffic lights in Athens, Greece, using the metronomic pulse of the crossing as the rhythmic backbone of their track.

It’s Wednesday, so time for a thread on ‘Sonic Pasts: acoustical heritage and historical soundscapes’ for anybody interested 😊 Today I’ll focus on my analysis of mentions/lack of mentions of sound within #UNESCO World Heritage Lists, and highlighting some of the case studies #heritage #soundscapes

Less than 5️⃣0️⃣ sounds remaining in our Sonic Heritage project! Join the open call for artists and reimagine the sounds from one of the world's most famous sights, as we explore the soundscapes of UNESCO World Heritage sites. Find out more and get involved: citiesandmemory.com/heritage/

Instagram alternatives anyone? This looks interesting, but open to any suggestions: gizmodo.com/bluesky-is-g...

I was one of the federal climate scientists pushed out under Trump 1. It's important to remember such pressures came not only from above but from career staff within, and scientific integrity measures only work when they are upheld & enforced. www.nytimes.com/2020/06/15/c...

There are lots of sheep and cows just outside the hotel window.

Literally all we need is a UK asylum processing centre in Calais, which the French have offered many times. That would reduce dangerous crossings instantly. And a process for applying online. You know what else would help? <waves generally in the direction of Brexit> rejoining the Dublin protocol.

A big part of my book ‘Sonic Pasts: acoustical heritage and historical soundscapes’ is a reflection on the concept of intangible cultural heritage in the context of the #UNESCO #ICHConvention. Here's a short thread on some of the #ICHConvention listings I analyse on sound beyond music

Into sound? Into heritage? Wrap your ears around these field recordings and/or get involved by reimagining them! My field recording of Catalonian castells is there, as is a @wavedebb.bsky.social recording from Suomenlinna. Another fab project from #citiesandmemory #sound #heritage #unesco #WHS #ICH

So this is very exciting! We have 16 places on our AHRC-funded Print Matters Summer School. There is no course fee, and applicants get 4 nights B&B accommodation and a travel bursary of up to £100. The Summer School is open to all disciplines and career stages. www.thinicepress.org/events/print...

Just listened to the last #ShortCuts on #BBC #Radio4 featuring, among others the fantastic @swavecollective.bsky.social I'm sad such an aurally engaging programme is going, time to mine their archives for previous adventures in sound www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I lost the first card in the bog.
