An apocalyptic scene: people hide in caves, as the sun goes dark, the moon reddens, and the stars fall to the earth (Cf. Revelation 6:12-17). From a mid-10th century Iberian illumination of Beatus’s late-8th century “Commentary on the Apocalypse,” Morgan Library & Museum, MS M.644, fol. 112r.

The schedule is finally set for our daylong (!) panel at EAA2023 in Belfast: “The Experience of Stone.” 24 papers, with global scope and a vast chronology from prehistory to the medieval. (Subjects include: caves, high crosses, death rituals, sacred stones, temples, volcanic seascapes, and more…)
