Shit. I'm starting to feel sick again.

Ever wondered what seals, cormorants and snails can tell us about the Early Middle Ages? I humbly recommend my new(ish) article on how many small human practices in coastal Scotland built the foundations for larger social changes... link.springer.com/article/10.1... #envhist 🏺 #medievalsky

I’m in a day-long department “retreat,” which is sort of depressing given the state of things. Can people on here maybe distract me with good or fun things?

this is an example of why we talk about the transformation of the Roman World, rather than its "fall" #medievalsky gizmodo.com/archaeologis...
