1/20 Hi! I’m Katy, a p/t PhD student with @SWWDTP @UniRdg_Arch. I’m taking this opportunity to reflect on my extended experience and the amazing people I’ve been working with, who have introduced me to different ways of thinking and doing archaeology. #HiddenLandscapes A title slide. In the top third, names and logos for the Uni 2/20 My presentation includes #HiddenLandscapes of my archaeological research, but it’s more a personal reflection than a paper. Really, it’s about the difference between the idealised and real-world landscapes of doing research. I mean, whose project is actually like this? ⬇️ A fish-shaped diagram illustrating the ideal progress of a d

Morning everyone! I’m Katy and I’m going to tweet about #archaeology, #geology and #landscape. But mostly, about #sarsen stone in the county of Wiltshire, UK. Thank you to @lornarichardson and @James__Dixon for organising #PATC5 and for accepting this paper 0/16 The abstract for this Twitter paper: This paper takes one of my recent #DailySarsen tweets and tells a story of the sarsen stone depicted in that previously-tweeted photo. Much of my public archaeology happens out-of-doors. The frightening reality of a serious communicable disease that has no vaccine means it will be some time before I can once more welcome people into Sarsen Country. My small efforts to recover a sense of Sarsen Country digitally, with #DailySarsen, have been welcomed by friends old and new. So here is an elaboration of one of the tweets; I hope people will enjoy the tale. During CV-19 lockdown and as long as distancing measures apply, my public archaeology landscape walks in #SarsenCountry are suspended. Groups trips for local/regional societies to visit places in Wiltshire (UK) where sarsen stones can be seen are off-limits #PATC5 #DailySarsen 1/ The title of my paper for the Public Archaeology Twitter Conference is ‘#DailySarsen, or, Walking hand-in-hand with human and non-human friends’.

OK so I've now read "History of Violence" in the current New Scientist (No 3223, 30 March 2019). Here's my initial response to one specific component of the article, the artwork by Simon Pemberton.
