Just finished my pres on the experiences of homeless communities & how archaeology can work to better understand the dynamic encounters these individuals have in the world! Now onto research and working out how we can start addressing the real issues! #MaterialityMatters2020

[MaterialityMatters2020 @MaterialityMat2]

And we are finishing a jam-packed day with Dr Ian Hodder from @Stanford discussing ‘The Friction of Flows: Long-Term Material Entanglements’ #MaterialityMatters2020

Molly brings up the important fact that plants, although intrinsic to our life are often overlooked in study! #MaterialityMatters2020

[MaterialityMatters2020 @MaterialityMat2]

Hope you are all ready for our third and final session of the day: ‘Sensing the Past and Present: Phenomenological Approaches to Archaeological Sites, Cultural Landscapes and the Material World’ see you soon! #MaterialityMatters2020

[MaterialityMatters2020 @MaterialityMat2]

And our final presentation of the evening comes from @mollyrcarney who discusses ‘How do Materiality and Relational Approaxhes Intersect in the Study of Past Plants and People?’ 🍀🎋🍁 #MaterialityMatters2020

Barbara delves into the relationship between embodied art and placemaking 🖼 noting that the cave is a Liminal place... the art shows how humans navigated such spaces through the markings that remain #MaterialityMatters2020

[MaterialityMatters2020 @MaterialityMat2]

@LadyLiminal1 has just given a run down on the ‘Underpasses are Liminal Places’ project that still needs its last bit of support! You can find more details here https://t.co/elHZRD2rzH

Thank you @OJTH for a thought-invoking discussion on the inherent differences in concepts and thoughts of the past! ⛏ What can the role that concepts play in their time of use tell archaeology? #MaterialityMatters2020

[MaterialityMatters2020 @MaterialityMat2]

First up from the theory duo! @CraigNCipolla will be presenting ‘Difference, Ontology and Collaborative Methophysics’ all the way from @UofT ... we certainly all have missed fieldwork this year! ⛏ #MaterialityMatters2020

[MaterialityMatters2020 @MaterialityMat2]

Difference is a productive force in the world... what can we learn from accepting our imposition of ontologies on objects? Can we rise out of these past colonial conceptions? What does the centrality of difference mean for archaeology? #MaterialityMatters2020
