Druid's Temple, near Masham, Yorkshire, is one of my favourite places. Constructed around 1800, a product of the vogue for all things 'druidic', it is full of its own idiosyncratic symbolism

Very proud of my PhD student @jrosantos.bsky.social who has published a brilliant paper on the archaeology of loneliness in the Journal of Social Archaeology. All the lonely people: where do they all come from? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

On my way to London to demonstrate in favour of the Assisted Dying bill. Hope the pretty sky is a good omen

Really excellent, considered guide to this issue. I am esp interested in mental health contexts, re: legitimate concerns over Canada situation, but also the striking benefit that simply having access to AD can have for terminally ill people, apparently acting as a form of palliative relief.

To protect me from prosecution, my husband, bedridden, in constant discomfort, his senses failing, ended his own life alone and unsupported. it's too late for him, but we can still make it possible for others to have a choice in how they die. I am campaigning for change on Friday.

I'm being interviewed this morning by the New York Times who are going to run a feature on the Assisted Dying bill. Do I have views? You bet I do! I want to tell them that nobody should have to face their death alone because they don't want a long, painful, wretched tail to their life

NEW Ethical treatment of human remains is a key issue in archaeology. How can we move beyond ideas of Indigenous vs Western, science vs spirituality etc. to ensure all remains are properly cared for? 🆓 buff.ly/40JSTBQ

An analysis of laws, guidelines, and the practices of handling human remains in collections, leads to the conclusion that what we need is not an "ethics check list, but a shared professional process that recognises the complexity of old human remains. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
