The Reading List | shelteringmemory

https://shelteringmemory.wordpress.com/the-reading-list

Bowland Caves excavation project blog. The reading list had been getting increasingly unwieldy as we added more and more stuff about a wide range of topics so I have attempted to group things together by broad subject area under headings to make it easier to find your way around. For lots more up to date, and world-wide, reading. Aldhouse-Green, S., Pettitt, P. and Stringer, C. 1996. Holocene humans at Pontnewydd and Cae Gronw caves. Barnatt, J. and Edmonds, M. 2002.

Budget Flying | shelteringmemory

https://shelteringmemory.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/budget-flying

Bowland Caves excavation project blog. July 22, 2015. We don’t have a drone but we do have a 5 metre level staff. Two years ago we experimented. Despite the miserable drizzle, by the end of today we had most of the hillwash removed in the west side of this trench too and it looks as if the enclosure ditch does continue through the far side of the trench.

Gone Daddy Gone | shelteringmemory

https://shelteringmemory.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/gone-daddy-gone

Bowland Caves excavation project blog. July 31, 2015. We are all done now with the fieldwork for another year. We spent today putting the turf back on all three trenches, tidying and cleaning and then driving everything back to Preston. Thanks very much to Clare who drove the kit van while I drove the bus. The wildlife of the day was a shrew we found hiding in the turves, unfortunately no picture of that either as it was much to quick for me. Where they are now two days away from finishing.

Bowland Caves excavation project blog. September 7, 2015. Along with what seems like 3000 other archaeologists I have been in the west end of Glasgow last week for the European Association of Archaeologists annual conference. If you were trying to get into a pub on Byres Road on Friday night to watch Scotland play Georgia and couldn’t see the telly for intense looking people jabbering about metalwork or state-formation processes now you know why. Unlike last year at Istanbul. August 14, 2015. One thing t...

The Panic is On | shelteringmemory

https://shelteringmemory.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/the-panic-is-on

Bowland Caves excavation project blog. July 30, 2015. The Panic is On. Sampling and recording going on by the limestone pavement on Wednesday morning. George is trying to decide what precise colour of mud he is looking at by using a Munsell standard soil colour chart. This is basically a 200 version of the cards you get in DIY shops to show you paint colours. Except in a Munsell book they are all called things like ‘pale yellowish brown’ rather than ‘Mocha Sunrise’. Next post →. Worms off the Hook. Olaf&...

Promise me son, not to do the things I’ve done | shelteringmemory

https://shelteringmemory.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/promise-me-son-not-to-do-the-things-ive-done

Bowland Caves excavation project blog. July 28, 2015. Promise me son, not to do the things I’ve done. The kids were meant to be back up on site this week but the weather was not Nintendo DS friendly. Like a lot of archaeologists I am not sure how I feel about my children becoming archaeologists in their turn. Entirely selfishly, I think that they might fancy something a bit more remunerative to keep me when I retire. It may be that they would also like something with a bit less rain. Next post →.

Cosmic Balance | shelteringmemory

https://shelteringmemory.wordpress.com/2015/03/22/cosmic-balance

Bowland Caves excavation project blog. March 22, 2015. Even at this level we can get a lot out of this. This is all the stone tool finds from trench N sorted by type. Apart from giving a great sense of how much stuff there was in this pit complex, the other interesting thing is the way that all the blades (longer, thinner and more regular flakes) seem to cluster on the south-east side of the pit. We found last year. Next post →. Worms off the Hook. Professor Stephen Aldhouse Green. Top Posts and Pages.

Land Management | shelteringmemory

https://shelteringmemory.wordpress.com/2015/04/03/land-management

Bowland Caves excavation project blog. April 3, 2015. I went up to look for myself and take some photos. This last year’s trench M, not a great wicket, even by parks’ department standards. Trench N is about the same and trench P is worse. It is on a slope and the pesky cattle. Have trodden a lot of the turves up to eat the soil underneath. Admittedly, there is not a lot of grass growing anywhere at the moment but you can kind of see John’s point. Next post →. Worms off the Hook. Top Posts and Pages.
