#islamicartweek2025 Fascinating lesson yesterday with wonderful artist Aziza Iqbal drafting a geometric motif from Masjid-I-Sayyad Mosque, Isfahan. Plenty of mistakes, but I’ve found that I enjoy the process and geometry more than the result, which surprised me. Can’t wait for more #islamicgeometry

This paper has been 10 years in the making! Thanks to my co-author Peter Marshall (radiocarbon dating guru), to Historic England who funded the dates, to @dorsetmuseum.bsky.social who hold the archive, and to AHRC for funding my PhD research (where this project originated).

The paper discusses Flagstones in the context of other proto-henges such as Stonehenge and Llandygai, explores small ringforms with cremation burials, and presents a new date on nearby Alington Avenue long enclosure. Also ideas about where this new large circular monument came from - poss. Ireland?

Hooray! Our paper detailing new dates for Flagstones enclosure in Dorset has been published in @antiquityj.bsky.social today. It shows that Flagstones is middle Neolithic, built and used for burial around 3200 BC, earlier than expected. Open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I’m living the dream, folks. Studying C3rd BCE Roman terracotta temple decorations, in bed, with three whippets. Technically, I’m wearing one whippet. It’s really hard to type like this, but I thought you folks might appreciate my dedication ;)

Well, it’s raining and windy here in U.K. as Storm Agnes touches down. So naturally my #sketchbook page today has me yearning for sunnier days and epic sunsets. Sand and sky, Sept 27 2023. Inspired by macro photography of geometric sand particles.
