Hellebore out today means that I get to read about my favourite things: pink Floyd and Alice in Wonderland!

Very happy to have recieved my hellebore delivery today! Good for upcoming research and my own academic endeavours. Needed the 6th edition of a specific article I cannot find anywhere else so yay!

2 editions of hellebore on a grey blanket. The first is the summoning edition with a pagan woman and staff.

I love researching things at times because what do you mean that a paper is titled Protestants and Fairies another good one the elf-fire of purgatory 🤣

I know I’m a bit late but, can random people stop making claims about kings under carparks. When your back catelog is pseudoarchaeology you aren’t getting far combined with using an C18th ‘map’. At least Hyde 900 was actually fun but wished some would look at the research not make bizarre claims.

Philomena Cunk thought: ‘who was Raphael and why is there a pre period and a post period for him and what made him so special’… /s #cunkon #historyjokes

Tell me you are an academic without telling me, I’ll go first. Spent a lot of birthday money on source and referencing books 🤣🤣

Finally finished it! Was good as an insight and glad I read it.

Happy #hillfortwednesday this is St Catherine’s Hill last Tuesday which is an Iron Age hill fort in Hampshire. My dog and I went on a lovely walk so I could teach her all about the differences between hill forts.

A view over St Catherine’s Hill, with a fox red Labrador in the foreground. The Labrador is watching the scenery as the views are over many fields. The sky is blue with clouds and the photo has two people walking in the background who are climbing down the steps.

Started working on the Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser today. Fascinating read and interesting to compare against the idea of worthies and anti worthies in the context of Ben Jonson’s masques of difference and Shakespeare.

Takeaways of my UG: If you try hard enough you can mention Miles ( @durotrigesdig.bsky.social ) biannually in different assignments and modules. Talk about what you are passionate about and make sure you won’t shut up about your interests. /hj

Andddd they have finished their degree. And once again by using Bmouth university archaeology department in my final assignments I have achieved a high 2:1. So thank you Miles once again for basically being an advertiser for your research 😅 @durotrigesdig.bsky.social

Can’t believe I did my first panel conference this week, it was such an amazing experience to be a speaker and get to use my voice to highlight the barriers disabled students face in Higher Education.

Always a great Monday when I can spend the morning going through excavation reports from Corfe Castle and the importance of the castle to the Civil War

Archaeology: where every find that is old enough can be for ritual practice. History: where gossip from the past, becomes more inciteful than comment sections after a YouTube scandal. /s

Just finishing watching blue Jean (2022) really good and eye opening about the implications of section 28 in the 1980s. Highly recommend for the history of LGBTQ+ rights!

A little appreciation for my fave place: the earthworks and church at knowlton henge, still grateful for the research completed by bmouth uni. Especially @durotrigesdig.bsky.social good memories of using every reference possible in first year, provided by the arch team at bmouth uni!

RIP Margaret of Anjou, she would have loved Running up that Hill (A Deal with God) by Kate Bush

Started to read to kill a mockingbird so interesting - will I finish the book? Idk, loved the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath!

2,800 words written for the Jane Austen Project I’m working on. I need to get this finished by Thursday but my MacBook won’t connect to wifi so time to join Miles in crying in a corner.

Martin Papworth is a G not as much as a GOAT as you though hey Miles!

@durotrigesdig.bsky.social is crying in a corner (Miles how do you feel right now?)

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

Still relevant and still as important as ever!!! (This is what I’m reading this month)

Sorry I’ve been off the earthly realm working on a Jane Austen project (I’m still frantically working on it) and celebrating my 21st with fairy rings and witches seats! Though a cool opportunity archaeology wise coming Monday!

Therapist: “Don’t worry Jem, Miles’ skeleton army can’t hurt you.” Me: ‘then what’s this?!’

Thanks to @durotrigesdig.bsky.social aka the magnificent Miles I got a high 2:1 on my exam which was on Celtic Britain so thank you for what you do (a Miles appreciation post) 🥰

Found this this morning - piltdown man was mentioned in my first ever archaeology lecture and this was my introduction to the amazing Dr Russell. Such a fascinating case, I love it and was the first book I owned that was archaeology based!

This #hillfortswednesday I want to show the magnificent hill fort known as Badbury Rings! This needs more excavations done but it is a fascinating example of Iron Age Dorset and the #durotriges

Photo of badbury rings with trees lining the top and a path in the middle of the photo

Photo taken on one of the embankments shows the ditches with overcast skies.

Look how beautiful this is. This county has so many stories to tell!

Love a good hill fort Dorset wins for this always 😎💪

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

You can tell I’m an archaeologist I keep digging holes for myself. Read politeness as politics now am researching politeness (I am out of my depths). I need to disappear to the #durotriges project 😅

000

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Dorset day is every day and yes Stonehenge is overrated. To be fair think #durotriges is still better ✌️😎

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

This: this is where I want to be ☺️

Petition to have a durotriges theme park in Dorset cos it’s an often forgotten part in the history of Dorset. Boo!! The Jurassic coast it’s over rated.

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

Exciting times what a great example ☺️

Today marks officially the last day I take archaeology. Of course I’m still going to be doing archaeology related things but it is bitter sweet. Archaeology will always be a part of me especially #durotriges #ironage and of course paganism and burial rites.

000

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Apparently when people say they have contacts they don’t mean name all your academics that you know really well annoy on the daily 🤣

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

This is becoming the number 1 fan account for the #durotriges25 dig sorry not sorry don’t come complaining to me shut up if you aren’t happy with it. It combines my two loves the durotriges tribe and Dorset not to mention the amazing academics and team! 🏺🤩

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Im gonna miss being able to dig holes in the ground and call it archaeology

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

An absolutely beautiful example - chalkland is great and so are Iron Age ditches

It’s so weird to me that I’ve finished my archaeology portion of my undergraduate degree. That’s so sad. #archaeology #celticarchaeology

Dr Russell will literally be in the trenches 😂😭 (Wonderful blue skies for the beginning)
