Like microwear analysis? Like Deleuze-inflected theory? Like the Neolithic & Bronze Age? Like hundreds of object studies? Given that is a Venn diagram that doesn’t even include all the authors, probably not. But indulge me & download this anyway link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...

Congrats to David, a really excellent piece of work bringing archaeological science and theory together, and easily one of the most fun PhD’s I’ve supervised (not least because his main guide @palaeohan.bsky.social kept all the science on track so well)

What is the relationship between kinship and bodies in ancient Egypt? Olabarria (yours truly!) shows that we cannot take our intuitive distinction between nature and nurture for granted and uses the notion of body worlds to shed light on the Egyptian category of ‘bodily son’. #EgyptologyInDialogue

What does it mean to be in dialogue? In what ways can Egyptology constructively engage with other disciplines? This introduction brings Egyptology in dialogue with archaeological and anthropological theory by presenting four key concepts, namely body worlds, relations, comparisons, and negotiation.

Gavrinis is the most amazing megalithic site I have been privileged to visit. Taking a boat to reach, you encounter a remarkable concentration of #Neolithic rock art at a single megalithic monument. A deeply powerful & inspiring place. @megalithic.bsky.social #rockart #archaeology #TombTuesday

Drystone facade with large megalithic stones forming entrance to passage entering large cairn

Passage of cairn with large stone side slabs all covered incised decoration and with stone slab floor and capstones

Large standing forming side slab of passage. Covered in incised decoration comprising rainbow 🌈 shaped forms, large ones in middle and smaller to side.

View into large square chamber at end of passage. Two large decorated backslabs and massive single paving stone.

I am really enjoying these lectures from FT — well worth the money and this week it’s Empedocles, Deleuze’s favourite pre-Socratic philosopher (according to one of his seminars). A must listen for my long Sunday drive! We all need distractions at the moment and this series is a great one.
