Strategy Wrestle: Carenza vs Iron Age Settlement
🕑 Added 2021-08-31 14:31:08 +0000 UTCIn preparing for an archaeological excavation, some tough strategic decisions need to be made – for starters, where are we going to put the portaloos?
The list of things to sort out seems to be growing daily, but thankfully Professor Carenza Lewis is on hand to help guide us smoothly through the process.
In this session, Carenza shares her thoughts on the multifaceted site in far west Cornwall – a location that today seems remote, yet might once have been a thriving hub of international trade and cultural exchange.
Carenza and Tim also look at another aspect of the site, which continues to make it an important place today: community involvement. There's already a thriving local archaeology group doing fantastic work on the ground, and we hope to leave a legacy to spur them onwards into the future.

great interview. Thanks Carenza for pulling out team details. We all want to learn more about the dig teams & any details you can share early. Patreon is a great opportunity for an inside perspective we wouldn’t get on the official program

Will we be getting a peak at the preliminary scans & analysis before the official dig start? I’d love to get a preview when you/we don’t yet know how it all fits or know all the details? I always enjoyed the changes between afternoon day vs morning day 2. The pivots are very interesting

Might Sandi Toksvig be available?

@ 9:20ish Carenza spouting forth about "community engagement" Well, yes Time team of the past with Mick could boast of it's street cred with the wider community but today's bunch very much limit any involvement on their terms only. Take my experience of Archaeologists. One guy was very public facing and engaging while the next one in post was so puffed up with his "importance" that quite frankly I felt that I needed my own PhD just to be breathing the same air as him. Unfortunately, people like him are in the majority in the profession and the way the profession treats outsiders such as myself and Nick Austin commonplace.

Near the beginning of the video I kept thinking there has to be a connection to the Elysian mysteries. Could that explain the Roman use of it, since many of the Romans converted to the Elysian Mysteries?

Carenza's comments about community participation were very inspiring. It's something I find is lacking here in the Eastern Europe. All the tech like GPR/XRF/LiDAR/... is getting a good use here as well but the sense of local engagement is not so pronounced, archeology lives in a crystal palace still.

Wow, such a huge amount about to happen. Keep saying I can’t wait. Hope the local gods can deal with COVID and everything goes according to plan.

Are they going to have a landscape archaeologist examine the area?

Applaud Carenza.’s emphasis on the establishment of the site’s legacy.

Tim didn't attempt to say hydrologist this time.

So much to do but only three days! Looking forward to seeing this dig.

The toilet blocks will turn out to be placed over some important archaeology.
