Text of the page (random words):
ublished earlier this week in the american journal of physical anthropology the material for the article come from one viking age grave bj 581 from birka the major trading post in central sweden in its time and the reason for its analysis was that it was already controversial before this study the original find was made in 1877 by hjalmar stolpe and consisted of a pseudo chamber tomb with weapons and two buried horses the original traditional sexing defined the skeleton female and this was not accepted without hiccups considering the historical and archaeological context even if there are weapons in some female graves during the iron age there importance have not acknowledged in connection with warrior identity without the osteological analysis archaeologically the complete and rich warrior assemblage was interpreted in the 1940s and 1980s as a male now the authors interpret her having been a full member of a male sphere she is one of three female burials that are known to lack all associations to the female gender within her burial assemblage nevertheless she did not feature any major pathologies or trauma in her skeleton the article has been popularised by several newspaper articles among them a daily mail piece on the first evidence of female valkyrie and a guardian piece that concentrates on analyzing the assumed gender roles in archaeology the daily mail article mainly gives a run thorough of the facts in the original article whereas the guardian article takes as the real story the fact that the deceased was misidentified for a century as a male even after the osteological analysis the original article resulted with a series of blog entries the most thorough of which is howard williams s three part series that analyses not only the original article but also the media and academia response and even attempts to draw conclusions of the public archaeology of death and gender by summarising the comments laid by the public to the daily mail and guardian articles with such deep pieces available what is left for me to say i can only capture a moment when the four women some of the main authors of the article join together at the department and rejoicing the moment when their research got a media exposure the table was lid with candles and there were small buns on offer together with a pink drink charlotte talked about giving an interview to new york times and the piece there they referred to some of the critique they had received and were amazed how the world was not ready for a female warrior they had analysed the right bones and it was a woman who potentially had travelled at the beginning of her life around the region i could say they were content with the exposure even if they were not happy with all the content this is what it is about in the academic world nowadays you have to get your story out there posted by ulla rajala at 14 32 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 14 may 2017 forms of dwelling this year saw the publication of my and phil mill s edited volume forms of dwelling 20 years of taskscapes in archaeology this volume was a result of two different conference sessions one in the bournemouth theoretical archaeology group tag conference in 2013 and the other in the nordic tag in 2014 naturally not all participants could not submit work for various reasons many people were busy publishing their research in ranked journals and you cannot blame them you never know when an edited volume actually will come out nevertheless the most important presenter did send content tim ingold whose idea the taskscape concept was and from whose 1993 article the temporality of landscape the 20 years was calculated did write a very personal piece on the circumstances in which the concept was formulated he also explains how he thinks that taskscape is a redundant concept and a landscape incorporates it he is surprised that the taskscape has been so popular especially in archaeology and how it has taken a life of its own as an archaeologist i am a bit sad that he did not celebrate his contribution to archaeological theory more but he writes from his own point of view considering he has already long since moved on his work on lines and meshwork is similarly influential in archaeology in a way as a counterpart of ingold s article was another very personal piece of work from andrew fleming it was not so much on taskscape but it was worth publishing from the view point of landscape archaeology and as a personal opinion on certain aspects of archaeological theory in his article fleming discusses what he calls a re humanisation project postprocessual way of getting humans into archaeology his approach is highly critical coming from a long term practitioner of landscape archaeology and he prefers to aim at re historisation of the past mainly by investigating the relationship between humans and the landscape the third paper was not presented in the original sessions but killian driscoll was filling a gap between the original creator and later appliers by being one of the users of the concept in the early 2000s his paper ties the latest research on mesolithic ireland to the threads of thought he has had in his research throughout his career this was kind of finish to the first part of the book and our own article on our ceramiscene concept started a short series of three contributions on classical archaeology us on ceramiscene and republican and early imperial landscape at nepi in central italy pirjo hamari on roofscapes in the nabatean area in the middle east and arja karivieri on religious taskscapes in late antique athens after the classical interlude the papers from the nordic and british tags were presented in a chronological order the highlights to name two included astrid nyland s work on norwegian stone quarries and matt edgeworth s article on taskscapes ceramiscenes and flowscapes in the black country not that the sámi sacred places or skyscapes are less interesting as the work of tiina äikäs and the team led by tom gardner showed the other topics touched upon diachronical landscapes in norway maori landscapes and secret landscapes the book was finished with a real scoop the concluding remarks were written by professor julian thomas whose work fleming was criticising i liked the circularity of actions in the volume and i think these two finished in good terms in the end they both clearly love theory after all even if they approach it somewhat differently editing a volume is hard work but the result was definitely worth it the cover photos chosen from the material provided by the authors have been beautifully inserted in a three tone graphic design we could not be happier how it looks like the only thing we were wondering was the lack of index however the articles were so far apart from their themes that this would have been a lot of extra work for something that would not be as useful as in a monograph or a more focused edited volume this was not only about britain or nordic countries or the mediterranean the book is on same by the oxbow books and you can find here posted by ulla rajala at 11 28 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 1 may 2017 a true innovation sometimes you just hope you had got the idea but somebody else did when it did not even occur to you however it does not make you marvel the quality of the original innovation any less on the contrary it makes you appreciate the originality of the thinking and the work put into realizing the plan basically it was a simple idea a group of scholars take turns in tweeting under a unique hashtag everybody gives a presentation in a set time with more or less set number of tweets on their selected subject under a common theme the other scholars follow the hashtag or like the presenters in order to follow the presentation in real time or return to an earlier presentation naturally it took an advertising campaign selecting or approving from abstracts the final presentations and circulating a timetable and people s handles the timetable took into account the time difference between europe and the americas so that it started with more british presentations and finished with the american ones this was a set put together by someone who understands how twitter works what is possible and how people communicate there this was the archaeological twitter conference on public archaeology i e public archaeology twitter conference pact that was imagined by lorna richardson it run on friday starting at 9 30 am british time and finishing only at 11 30 pm everyone got a 15 minute time slot and the subject matter covered everything from the accessibility of archaeology and the gender relations in archaeology and the exploitative nature of labour in early career archaeology to gaming as heritage to the endangered sites in the middle east and presentations of more traditional field projects the key note lectures took place the evening before and were given by professor shawn graham from carleton university and dr colleen morgan from york university they had slightly more time to their topics about bots in archaeology and a personal view to the poetics of digital archaeology lorna was inspired by the world seabird conference so it was not totally original thinking but applying it to archaeology required quick reasoning and adaptation this all was against a background of some fierce critique towards archaeologists twittering from some corners as one participant commented you could take part into a conference from your own kitchen you can still check the programme and work through the conference now i can only say that i did retweet some of the advertising material along the process i did enjoy the resulting conference as a spectator now i have to see if further ideas come out of this i should remind people that i and philip mills have got the 20 years of taskscapes volume out but that will require a blog post of its own next week posted by ulla rajala at 17 49 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 16 april 2017 the second best i woke up to act just during the last few weeks of the touring exhibition of the replicas of the grave goods of the tomb of tutankhamun named tutankhamun graven och skatterna tomb and treasures first i had considered not going due to the high cost of tickets and the fact that the artefacts there are not real but replicas but then in the end the curiosity was too much after i got quite good feedback from my colleagues the price was high and higher on sundays you can guess which weekday i was visiting the exhibition the location was unusual the exhibition had moved to the magasin 9 in the frihamn area i had to consult my map and google maps before going luckily nowadays it is easy to check which buses go where online or on a mobile phone app the sl provided the potential routes to the place the exhibition itself is a commercial venture i believe even if the egyptian archaeological authorities are involved somehow and the former chief inspector and minister zahi hawass visited stockholm during the exhibition a similar exhibition is currently advertised for dorchester dorset on the internet but according to wikipedia this exhibition is permanent the web page was almost identical so the organization behind it is the same according wikipedia the touring exhibition has been in zürich brno munich and barcelona among other places the entrance to the exhibition was slightly chaotic with the obligatory information panels of the egyptian chronology the station to deliver the audioguides and the area to queue to the film and through it to the main exhibits occupying more or less the same space the whole exhibition is based on audioguides and i must say that the texts were at the same time thorough and targeted to the general audience the number of stops had also been carefully considered and the exhibition lasted about two hours when one listened all the 22 texts and saw the movie the exhibits in the area before the movie concentrated on the finding tutankhamun how archaeologists found about him and how long it took from howard carter to find the tomb many have not considered that he was on the trail of the boy pharaoh for about 15 years naturally this section covered the death of lord carnarvon and the curse of the pharaoh the film afterwards also concentrated on howard carter and the finding of the tomb after the film we were presented with the tomb itself so everything proceeded in a chronological order the tomb section was a disappointment of the exhibition one could not walk among the stacked items but only see reproductions at a distance the spaces presented also omitted the annex so not all rooms were reproduced however for a non egyptologist what followed was engaging and spectacular i am usually a purist and frown somewhat the exhibitions where there are few or no original objects but here my childhood love of all things tut won and i enjoyed the exhibition fully i did not find the mask of the tutankhamun very exciting but i thought the displays got better towards the end where the chariot and the famous throne were presented these are fantastic objects and the copies will do when presented in a professional matter i also learned new or forgotten things i found the fact that an aborted fetus and a stillborn baby had been buried with the boy king very touching and it was revealing to see the copies of the actual small sarcophagi that were very small in comparison with the huge copies of the real tut things inadvertedly the exhibits showed how the selection of objects only gives us a glimpse what the real treasures of the pharaohs were the throne may have been ekhnaten s the baby s mask was too big and could not be fitted on the little mummy to make it fit the sarcophagus and there were also other recycled items this tomb had also been robbed soon after the funeral and all objects in precious metals that were not inside the sarcophagi had vanished the wooden items covered in leaf gold were left to reflect the splendours of the past was the exhibition value for money 195 swedish krona well it was until i check the price of the adult tickets in the dorchester exhibition it is 8 99 that would be a price one would have a casual walk through the galleries with the swedish price one does spend more time and effort in marveling the exhibits posted by ulla rajala at 12 12 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 8 april 2017 terror yesterday was a peaceful day until i checked my
