Stonehenge Photosynth

This is a set of photos taken of Stonehenge (Wiltshire) on 18/10/2008. The sky was just perfect and I was lucky to get some great shots. Hope you enjoy them as much as I. (sorry it only works on a pc)

Archaeological theory in the light of contemporary computing conference

I have been selected to give a paper at this years Theoretical Archaeology Group (TAG) conference at the University of Southampton (southern England) in the <TAG 2.0/>: Archaeological theory in the light of contemporary computing session.

Abstract-
Title : Building on Fear?
The role of Digital Archaeology to aid the study and analysis of structural carpentry techniques in central southern England, c1180 – c1500, the era of the Black Death and successive plagues.

: Archaeological theory in the light of contemporary computing

I will be giving a paper at this conference in December 2008

clipped from www.tagconference.org One of our chief goals will be to challenge the degree to which digital archaeology is synonymous with quantitative methods and their empiricist overtones. This is not intended as a criticism of either, but rather as an opportunity to reappraise the relationship between digital approaches and archaeological methodologies. The session is intended to contribute toward an archaeological response to a rapidly changing and increasingly complex digital world. It will conclude with a panel discussion. This forces us to reconsider the manner in which both archaeologists and the public engage with information and to discuss the opportunities and dangers which arise from digital archaeologies. Though once peripheral to standard archaeological practise, computers have begun to reshape both our discipline and the way we think about it

how to read for academia

clipped from www.questianewsletter.com 3 Simple Ways to Master Reading for Study Slammed with reading assignments? Reading for study is a whole new game at the university level. With the right technique, you can hit the books efficiently and build comprehension. In Coming to Grips with Reading and Writing Academic Articles, Yukon College recommends checking out the sources used by the author. “Check the foot- or endnotes or look at the reference list. Knowing where the author got the information will tell you whether the author is looking at something new (interviews, letters, archival or government documents, etc.), taking a new look at something old (books and articles), or combining new and old.” Another UNSW tip for Effective Reading: plan to read the material twice and only take notes during the second reading.
