Starting in one hour (5pm GMT): PPPS seminar by Prof. Janet Burton, UWTSD - "First among equals: prosopographical approaches to the careers of medieval abbots".

Prof. Burton asks if it is possible to construct a group biography from what the 15th cent. chronicle tells us of the social and geographical origins of abbots at Meaux, how they were elected and how long they ruled, and their interests and preoccupations.

It's #TombTuesday, and I've been up at Wayland's Smithy in Oxfordshire today, enjoying how atmospheric it is in the fog. (Photo taken at lunchtime!)

The #neolithic Cotswold-Severn-type chambered long barrow was constructed in this form in around 3460-3400 BCE, although there was a smaller structure here that predated it.

The tomb's massive monumental facade should make it feel imposing, but today, with just the misty trees and the busy, chubby robins for company, it felt like a sanctuary.

A place very close to my heart. Something for #StandingStoneSunday - the majestic Ring of Brodgar in #Orkney.

The 27 stones remaining (from what might have been more than 70) come from at least 7 different quarry sites. I love the interpretation that the Ring wasn't a monument created in one dramatic construction event, but was changed over time. Did it materially reflect the push and pull of regional power play? Raising or removal of slabs as a show of force, for performance not for posterity?

The #ServerMigration process brought over my 'followers' from my old account but not those I was #following 🤨

However... (stop me if this is old news) I have beheld the wonder that is 'Preferences>Import and export' that allows me to download a spreadsheet of all the people I followed on my last account, and upload them to this one. 🥳

You think of everything, Mastodon, bravo! 😍
