There's been talk of making a private option for the diary so that things aren't published online. I think that's a good plan. Also I'd say that lack of anonymity leads to self-censorship. By that I mean if there is something sensitive that could do with discussion, but no-one wants to start it, then an 'anonymous' option on the diary database might help.
I haven't written in the diary for a couple of days. After the field trip I was exhausted. I think I've cracked the problem today. I've been finding I eat so much I can barely move, and sleep so little I can barely think, so skipped lunch for a nap today, and the world seems a better place.
The trip to other sites really enthused me to get more involved with the time period. During my degree I got into Classical, Paleolithic and Bronze Age, and by the by completely missed out the Neolithic and Chalcolithic. I'm keen to catch up where I can, so erm, reading lists this way please (preferably including easily accessible pdfs). I would say despite loving the field trip, I think the day was too long not just for me, but the driver. Can we get back earlier next year, perhaps by sacrificing a site or two? Alternatively employ two drivers so one can sleep.
Spoke to Coleen the other day, and have been reading a paper she wrote on photography in Catal. It's really cool to be on a project where I get to chat to other media-interested types. Had a bit of a flash-back to my own undergrad dissertation and got ideas started up again.Entered By: N. Christie |
