Reminder that today is the last day to submit your paper proposals for TAG! We meanwhile return back to our series that explores Exeter through the theme of persistence and loss. On one of the corners of the high street stands the Tudor-looking 229. Appearances are, however, deceptive.

CfP for our TAG Exeter session 'After the Election: Archaeology & Cultural Heritage in a Post-Reform UK'. Imagine it's 2029, Reform wins a landslide election victory, the Department for British Culture has oversight of all cultural output. What next for archaeology, museums & cultural heritage?
Screenshot of the call for papers for the session for Exeter TAG, which says:
This session imagines the archaeological and heritage implications of a Reform UK government following its victory at the 2029 general election. The newly created ‘Department for British Culture’ oversees urgent revisions to Britain’s heritage and cultural sectors, operating under a mandate to suppress ‘woke’ approaches to the past. Institutional overhauls are in progress at museums and archives, at National Trust properties, in media, and publishing, and the DfBC are revising how the past is taught in schools as part of the new ‘National Curriculum Reformed’. Government policies call for the withdrawal of funding from museums and heritage sites that address difficult histories, particularly those related to colonialism, the Atlantic slave trade, and migration. New national guidance has been issued that prioritises narratives of ‘traditional’ British culture, economic and wartime achievement, and Christian heritage.

This session seeks reflections on this imagined future, focused on its implications for the present:
Is this prediction accurate? To what extent? How can we better understand the structures and dynamics that shape the far-right framing and usage of the past? In what locales, and through what narratives, is the past mobilised towards far-right political goals? What about in 2029?
Can archaeologists contribute to avoiding a future such as this? Where are we going wrong? How might we prepare? What does activist-archaeologist resistance to far-right state power look like?
What are the political responsibilities of those who work with the past? How can we attempt to prevent political harms and marginalisation through our work? Conversely, should archaeology remain politically neutral?

The urban fabric of a city may change, but traces of the past often persist in unexpected ways. Today, we look at the faded remnants of old shops and businesses that once lined Exeter’s streets.

Today’s spotlight post looks at Exeter’s Catacombs! As cemeteries within the relatively small city of Exeter filled over time, a need for new burial spaces arose. Eventually, the cholera epidemic of 1832 precipitated the construction of the first publicly funded cemetery in England: the Catacombs.

What happens when the historic fabric of a city comes into conflict with urban development? Today, we look at the story of the Merchant House, a 15th century Tudor house in Exeter, which became a subject of a remarkable act of preservation as the medieval city around it was lost.
