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. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/apr/15/once-in-a-generation-lunar-event-to-shed-light-on-stonehenges-links-to-the-moon 'It's plain elitist': anger at Greek plan for €5,000 private tours of Acropolis.

Excavation of a postulated early Medieval hermitage near Crowland, England, identified a site with a long and complex chronological sequence. During the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, a monumental henge was built, among the largest so far identified in the Fens of eastern England, probably later adapted into a timber circle. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00934690.2024.2332853 https://www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articles/latest/2024/04/crowland/ cheers, Moira MOIRA WHITE Curator, Humanities TŪHURA OTAGO MUSEUM moira.white@otagomuseum.nz Ph +64 |03| 479 3265 419 Great King Street, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand

North Queensland pottery "In 2017 we began excavating a large shell midden at Jiigurru located during the surveys. To our amazement, around 40cm below the surface we began to find pieces of pottery among the shells in the excavation. We knew this was a big deal. We carefully bagged each piece of pottery and mapped where each sherd came from, and kept digging."

Not quite archaeology Nuts and Bolts: Seven Small Inventions That Changed the World in a Big Way - a different approach to technological history. Agrawal is an engineer and avoids a male western view which often dominates stories of technology, indeed she celebrates where it is not. - And the archaeological evidence for some of the technologies she covers does get its due space.

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Heritage this Month <mgrcomms@heritage.org.nz>Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2024 at 1:32 PM Subject: Ng King Brothers Chinese Market Garden Settlement: Official Opening To: Garry Law Law < glaw@lawas.co.nz> Hundreds of descendants, guests and supporters gathered to celebrate the opening of this new community heritage park. | Guest editorial | Victoria TrowAs we look ahead to Archaeology Week 2024, I've been asked to provide an editorial from my perspective as a roguish but charming, real-life archaeologist.When I tell folks I'm an archaeologist, people are usually quick to say, 'there can't be much archaeology here, right?' After I parry that with the fact that people have been here for about 800 years, there's the inevitable 'but it's not like it is in Europe'. And sure, there's no digging down to reveal a medieval village on top of a Roman fort on top of a Celtic ruin on top of a Neolithic campsite. But – setting aside the hopefully obvious point that archaeological sites in Aotearoa have no less value than those overseas – there's such a good challenge in working to understand the sequence of human history here from sites that are spread across such a short period of time (archaeologically speaking). Not to mention how meaningful it is to be able to offer archaeological information to the iwi, hapū, or communities that are very much tied to these sites.Our archaeological record is so precious, and we need to all be doing our utmost to protect these physical points of connection to the past. Here's where I pivot to you, dear reader! One of the greatest risks to our archaeological sites today is climate change. Our archaeological record is overwhelmingly concentrated on coastlines and waterways, which have been the focus of settlement both for the first arrivals from Polynesia and for European settlers. Sea level rise, coastal erosion, catastrophic weather events and land instability threaten an overwhelming proportion of Aotearoa's cultural heritage. So, I'll leave you on this note – what's good for the planet is good for heritage.
