Text of the page (random words):
a world not riven by borders physical or mental between humanity s cultural world and the natural world but by the blindingly obvious partnership and balance that is needed between the two in an early section of the volume lopez discusses the material objects that act as his talismans as reminders to or from previous expeditions and how they link both memory and experience to inform his guiding values in interpreting the world around him it is a particularly moving point in which to provide the bedrock for the rest of book and into lopez s own evaluation of his critical thinking over time in the passage quoted below an arctic artefact linked to functionality is heavily imbued with a sense of place within the give and take of humanity s survival next to my bed is a sand cast silver harpoon tip a stylized replica of a toggling implement that eskimo hunters have used for centuries to secure and retrieve seals a gift from my wife to provide food for one s family whether it is seal meat or a sack of grain or the flesh of an avocado is to encounter again an unsettling question about the way in which death provides life to act here is to face one s own complicity to choose to take life in order that one s own kin might continue to live when i lie down to sleep far from home i place this small work of art close by on a folded scarf it was crafted by a man named jimmy nagougugalik an inuit artist and hunter from baker lake in nunavut canada it reminds me of the centrality of the symbolic in human life and of both the consequence of providing and of the obligation to provide quoted from lopez 2019 40 the volume is laced with an undercurrent of worry for the future generations of the world in both the political and physical sense as we head to unprecedented population numbers and increased stresses on the environment leading to resource depletion unsustainable economic growth and ecological damage yet there is a hint of hope that if a balance can be achieved and stability in how we manage our resources then we can live more harmoniously in sync with each other and the natural environment if you are looking for a volume to read that will challenge the way you think about humanity s impact on the earth and are curious to read about far flung places with an anthropological slant then this may be the book for you bibliography lopez b 2001 arctic dreams imagination and

international food production 17 mar the food writer bee wilson has a very interesting article in this weekend s guardian review magazine regarding the quality versus quantity of modern food and the changing nature of the global diet as identified in her new 2019 book the way we eat now with its riveting introduction wilson s newspaper article brings into play the cultural and industrial underpinnings of why changes in both mass availability and the variety of food produce is having a detrimental effect on the modern diet and food standards more generally eating grapes can feel like an old pleasure untouched by change the ancient greeks and roman loved to eat them as well as to drink them in the form of wine the odyssey describes a ripe and luscious vine hung thick with grapes as you pull the next delicious piece of fruit from its stalk you could easily be plucking it from a dutch still life of the 17th century where grapes are tumbled on a metal platter with oysters and half peeled lemons but look closer at this bunch of green grapes cold from the fridge and you see that they are not unchanged after all like so many other foods grapes have become a piece of engineering designed to please modern eaters the article is worth a read as it highlights how food standards are continually changing to meet new markets particularly the international market and how we as a species have made previously seasonal fruit and vegetables available year round for global consumption with that comes a host of other changes introduced or designed to increase efficiency across trading and cultural borders such as the selection for seedless grapes and stability in flavour as the example wilson uses above and explores throughout the article the ability to produce foodstuffs year round in spite of seasonal variance is a relatively new development on a stupendous scale but it is necessary to feed the now burgeoning global human population of 7 7 billion individuals to highlight the monumental change and increase in the human population in recent centuries and thus pressures on providing food and impact on the environment to provide that food check out the chart below world population estimates from 1800 to 2100 using united nations projections in 2015 and united nations historical estimates for pre 1950s data source wikipedia technological and industrial developments in the 19th and 20th centuries have helped to drive a chain reaction that gave our species the ability to harness agriculture and provide food produce across continents yet as wilson points out this glut of food isn t always what it is nutritionally cracked up to be the homogenization of the international diet through increased trade and economical bonding can be deceptive in its nutrient value so what does this has to do with archaeology as quoted above we often subconsciously think of food as a direct route back to the past whether it is a way to communicate and bond with our perceived ancestors or through some fad palaeodiet that has gained attention as diet of the month which is based on flimsy scientific evidence or perhaps we are celebrating our personal and familial heritage and our culinary heritage is a central tenet of our religion and or cultural affinity food itself is a direct portal to a past that we as a species have long valued and appreciated a large proportion of all archaeological remains are related to food production in some context increasingly so the further we delve into our prehistory and osteological ecofacts e g bones of butchered animals are often our only evidence of human activity in a number of archaeological contexts sometimes though a grape is not just a grape it is a portent to the future and a harbinger for our unhealthy modern diet tags bee wilson food food production human population link modern diets comments leave a comment categories archaeology bee wilson diet food human population modern diets past populations housekeeping notes a change in address ads 10 mar regular readers of this blog may notice that the site has recently undergone a few changes regarding the url and advertising on the blog i originally started this blog as a bit of an experiment back in 2011 to document my growing interest in human osteology and bioarchaeology using the free wordpress com blogging platform and as my site grew and became more uniform with the introduction of the skeletal series guest posts and interviews it also became much more time consuming to produce and edit content still i was quite happy to do this and thoroughly believed that academic or at least academic leaning blogs should try to avoid being commercialised if possible and i resisted the siren call of monetising the site long term readers will note that the blog post output rate has slowed somewhat dramatically in the past few years due to time constraints such as employment volunteer work or other such activities i still maintain this site as an active one as i continue producing posts helping to advertise opportunities for students and for msc ma courses in human osteology in the united kingdom 1 and by answering emails and comments etc everyone now and again i also edit old entries however my thoughts on upgrading the blog also changed as i thought a bit more about the future of the blog of how i want it to be accessed and what would be good for its long term future the perils of a blog as a time sink reproduced with permission from mr lovenstein image source mr lovenstein i ve been quite loathe to change the appearance of the blog since settling on a style that i found workable and that highlighted the various aims and topics discussed within the blog as seen by the triptych of images that forms the blog banner it isn t aging too well and i think a change is probably due in that direction perhaps with a neater more simplistic and easier to read design the blog itself is highly searchable with numerous categories and tags produced for each post however there are some features that could do with an upgrade or a change around at least the rss sub page could do with deleting as it hasn t worked for years and the wordpress blog menu has so far baffled me as to how to remove it 2 apologies for all of those readers who have clicked on it to only find scrambled code instead as well as the change in the domain name readers may also notice a number of advertisements on the blog itself wordpress com had initially inserted ads into the blog as per their funding model to generate income like most media and social media companies on the web since the plan upgrade i have decided to try to monetise the blog in order to raise pocket money revenue from the operating of this site this is partly in recompense for the amount of time maintaining the site time spent either researching writing or editing the blog entries or for the administration side of the blog replying to emails and building relationships with other bloggers don t laugh at the editing part for a long time i was against the idea of monetisation in principle on a generally academic and educational blog since most of my peers such as jess beck s bone broke kristina killgrove s powered by osteons and alexandra ion s bodies and academia do not advertise on their sites as far as i am aware in fact that trio of sites look remarkably clean easy to navigate and remain a pleasure to read do i feel bad about putting a trio of adverts on my blog which may affect the reader s attention yes i do do i also need to pay rent need to eat and drink and have to pay for fuel so enable me to get to my current job yes i do could i also be working the time i spend updating editing and working on this blog again yes i could be hidden from the world the secret panel on the above comic reproduced with permission from mr lovenstein image source mr lovenstein so am i now rolling in the money since i started to monetise the site no i am not in fact it is bringing in less than i had hoped it would and due to wordpress not paying out until you reach 100 i may not receive a single cent for a good while yet if any readers have any questions regarding the changes in the blog i d be happy to answer them either below in the comments box or via email see the about the author tab for the address fundamentally i am hoping that this series of blog changes for these bones of mine invigorates me to write more looking for guest posts and interviewees whilst i m quickly updating the blog and taking a look through previous posts and blog statistics i notice i have not had a guest post or an interview entry on the blog in quite some time i m hoping to rectify this within the next few months by reaching out to friends and colleagues and likely also on the british archaeological jobs and resources facebook page i do have a guest post set of guidelines for prospective guest post bloggers to read in order to match the house style of this blog and i am selective of what i consider suitable for this site though there is a wide range of topics i d consider and that i am actively looking for i am always interested in hearing from commercial field archaeologists and osteoarchaeologists as well as early career researchers and specialists in palaeopathology funerary archaeology osteoarchaeology and bioarchaeology i m particularly keen on another set of interviews as i find that interviews allow for a deeper and personal reflection on what it is actually like working within this sector and how individuals have gotten into this area in the first place and what continues drives them or drive them out of it so if you have an ongoing project a unique perspective or a new bioarchaeological methodology or theory that needs a helping hand please do get in touch and let me know to all of my previous interviewees and guest bloggers you are very much welcome back as updates on projects careers and perspectives are always welcome we are living through an interesting period in which our understanding of the western world post second world war is fundamentally changing and the great game of diplomatic and trade agreements alongside our economic ties are being reshaped for the 21st century is this filtering through to the sector are the commercial conditions changing and are our perceptions of how we interpret the past changing this is an area i am keen to delve into and to hear your views from the ground up notes 1 the latest entry in the available postgraduate msc ma courses in human osteology in the united kingdom dates from march 2018 and could do with a 2019 update expect to see that within the next month or so the expansion of such courses in the uk continue with a professional accreditation commercial experience module now added in this is a step in the right direction but the glut of human osteology postgraduates often find meager commercial opportunities for employment in current market conditions in the country 2 update 10 03 2019 it took me 5 seconds of looking at a menu to find the click button it has now been removed tags blog update
