Found a dumped geological collection, (and a sand dollar), complete with catalogue numbers. On a local heath. All I need now is the catalogue.

Spheres of Knowledge. Listening to Landscape. Using sound to summon landscapes, memories and ghosts of a disappearing England.

I realise that it's part art and part science (and therefore somewhat subjective), but I've never seen a facial reconstruction from a (modern) skull, compared with (a photo of) the owner's actual face, to show evidence of its accuracy.

Many of these 'unavailable' pages must be for discontinued products/services or other obsolete information. Link rot is a separate issue.
