I absolutely love this bit of Scotland: massive fieldwork envy

I love these 'restorations' precisely because they're palimpsests: this is just one gloriously camp moment in this statue's life. The craftspeople who have given her her various makeovers will always brought different visions and levels of skill

This is a lovely read on why natural history museums matter, as a fragment of the ecosystems that once existed, but also as assemblages of human actions, impacts, and biases

I'm absolutely mesmerized by this fantastic animated infographic: brilliant way of presenting processes

A more detailed look at coastlines after the LGM in the Middle East to consider where how people moved through now-submerged parts of their landscapes. I love these textured palaeo-DEMs for a different perspective on hunter-gatherer worlds. comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/geoscience/a...

Why haven't I ever seen this West Atlantic sea serpent before? It's phenomenal!

A lovely bit of work between Sanday volunteers, Coastal and Marine Wessex, and Historic Scotland to identify and trace the many lives of the Sanday wreck. I love that people had pieces of the ship built into their homes - becoming part of the treeless island landscape share.google/zaBSyyTSeuBH...

This is an interesting read, and some fascinating papers referenced to follow up on: but human grief is by no means one thing, but a socially mediated response. And I definitely have at least one friend who mourns like a macaque
