Text of the page (random words):
ve believed and how she wanted her remains dealt with i do not think that her body should be displayed out of the sarcophagus if that is indeed how it is displayed the article does not make that clear in the case of african ancestral human remains the dead are far more recently deceased and there is continuity with living cultures both in africa and in the diaspora again these remains were taken during the colonial period very likely without the consent of the relatives of the dead similarly indigenous australian indigenous north american and sami remains and artefacts are often kept in museums and were also taken without the consent of those indigenous peoples it is clear in these cases that there should be an ethical process for repatriation of human remains to their countries and cultures of origin this is because there is a continuous link to still extant indigenous cultures ancient british remains that does not apply to ancient human remains from the british isles where any cultural continuity between ancient polytheist and animist religions and contemporary pagan revivals is very tenuous everyone in britain should have a say over what happens to human remains as the british association for biological anthropology and osteoarchaeology have pointed out in 2009 i proposed a compromise solution which would give archaeologists access to human remains and create a sacred space for them to rest in this need not be expensive those who wish to conduct ceremony to honour the ancient dead could do so in museum store rooms some museums are running out of storage space so that might result in some reburying of human remains and in that case some sort of dignified ritual to rebury them would be appropriate i do think that where museums do display human remains screening them in some way so that people have a choice as to whether to view them and so that museum visitors approach the remains respectfully is appropriate there s an excellent example of this in

people choose to interact with sacred sites by leaving clooties small bits of cloth tied to trees unfortunately these cause problems for wildlife because small birds can get tangled in them animals can choke on them and they can damage the tree that they are tied to clooties on a tree source cleaner clootie campaign that s why the cleaner clootie campaign was started to try to get people to use biodegradable clooties my personal preference would be for people not to leave any kind of clootie but if you feel you have to at least use biodegradable fabric it is more in keeping with the folklore anyway as the traditional view was that you left a clootie as an offering to take your illness away and as the clootie rotted away the illness faded too if you want to perform a meaningful service or offering for a sacred site clean up the litter in the 1990s a group of local pagans including me cleaned out the litter from nine wells near cambridge and it stayed tidy for years afterwards because it seems that if people see a tidy site they don t drop litter you could also do the site a favour by removing the clooties that other people have left at february 27 2026 no comments email this

memories this year some idiot s decided that they could light a fire in castlerigg stone circle in cumbria uh no the bbc reported english heritage said it is extremely concerning to see that a fire has been lit within the stone circle a thoughtless act that damages the scheduled monument and could have resulted in further serious consequences the director of nearby climbing centre newlands adventure centre gayle brooks said staff had to pick up faeces from their children s playground before a school group arrived following the celebrations i am not sure why out of all the surrounding fields anyone would choose a children s play area to use as a toilet she said last year there were too many people at the site disturbing local residents the keswick reminder reported the trust said in a statement in recent years our ranger team has worked hard to build relationships with visitors to castlerigg stone circle during the summer solstice resulting in the majority now showing a huge amount of respect for the site cleaning up and litter picking after visiting there is however still a small minority who behave irresponsibly and leave behind mess taking our ranger teams away from their vital nature conservation work we respectfully ask that visitors dispose of their litter responsibly camp in designated campsites and remind them that fires and disposable barbecues are not permitted anywhere in the lake district national park we want to encourage people to get outdoors and to enjoy the lake district but to respect the landscape and the people and wildlife that call it home by leaving no trace and following the countryside code i don t know who these people are or if they identify as pagans i have come across assholes in the pagan community who think they have an absolute right to drum all night at camps and have even had stones thrown at my tent after asking them to stop in shropshire in 1998 there has always been an element among pagans who do not think about the wider context and consequences of their actions and who don t care about other people it s also possible that the people who did this are part of rave culture or whatever has replaced it either way stone circles and the archaeology and natural environment around them are a priceless and irreplaceable part of everyone s heritage and need to be respected and protected i hope the people who commented on just stop oil s protest at stonehenge will also comment on this i doubt the effectiveness of jso s methods since it just got people annoyed with them instead of actually talking about the climate emergency but lighting a fire in the middle of a stone circle is worse than spraying orange cornflour on it at june 30 2024 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 15 april 2024 stonehenge and the moon the guardian reports now a project has been launched to delve into the lesser understood links that may exist between the monument and the moon during a rare lunar event a major lunar standstill which takes place once every 18 6 years when moonrise and moonset reach their farthest apart points along the horizon will take place in january 2025 this will give archaeologists astronomers and archaeoastronomers a rare chance to explore theories surrounding the event and the ancient people of stonehenge some experts believe the people who built the monument were aware of the major lunar standstill and may have buried their dead in a particular part of the site because of its relationship to the phenomenon it is also possible that four station stones forming a rectangle at the site two of which are still standing may have been positioned to mark the major lunar standstill rare lunar event to shed light on stonehenge s

representation in archaeology and cultural heritage in the 21st century a session at the 28th eaa annual meeting in budapest hungary 31 august 3 september 2022 call for papers session 424 theme 1 archaeologists and archaeology here and now session format regular session title actors not spectators community representation in archaeology and cultural heritage in the 21st century session abstract a shift in public and community archaeology and the way communities are engaged has resulted in numerous publications on how to actively involve various citizens in the entire research process despite the increased focus on participatory archaeological research and citizen science worldwide projects are still often aimed at the comfortable audience the dutiful spectator that obliges with official definitions legislations and heritage practices such as responsible metal detectorists in many countries yet detectorists and other parts of the public are still routinely by passed in the citizen scientist realm because of the way they choose to engage with heritage often hands on not within the museum setting nor in the passive role as a spectator due to this they are frequently denied access to the archaeological field and painted as a potential threat in addition there are the individuals who do not always conform with the normative views of an archaeological participator the non white disabled indigenous neurodivergent lgtbq those of ethnic and religious minorities specifically people who are commonly denied access to their past and to be an actor in this narrative across the world individuals communities stakeholders knowledge keepers and other members of the public are demanding to be allowed to not only view the end process of archaeology they want to have access to be actively involved in the heritage making process and have a say in how the archaeological heritage is displayed and used this session welcomes those who seek to challenge our view of what true participation can or should be we particularly encourage individuals from the lgtbq communities citizen scientists indigenous persons and people who can present on case studies offer practical examples or theoretical approaches to these exclusionary practices in archaeology and heritage studies keywords representation heritage making community public archaeology organisers main organiser
