Help maybe? I'm trying to finalise a grant budget and include some £££ for artistic reconstructions but I haven't had much luck getting estimated costs. I'd LOVE to pay real artists for this...but if I don't know how much to cost for I can't really budget for it.

Today I got to do something really fun that I've needed to do for a little while: Thanks to @kentwildlife.bsky.social I got to visit the original UK beaver release site to collect some beaver gnawed wood for my wood reference collection, and see this amazingly re-engineered landscape! 🦫🪵

Of course. There are no perfect analogies for past behaviours, but experimentation helps us test theories with evidence, and have served to address some big (often weird) ideas that formed through the Western lens.

I love seeing experimental archaeology centred as a rigorous scientific approach to human evolution. It can sometimes be sidelined, methodologically, and represents impactful (if imperfect, like all avenues) and exciting opportunities to interpret human behaviour.

Spent the day with master flint knapper, John Lord, to 3D scan handaxes. Some were made by him, but this one was collected from a quarry spoil heap at Lynford and dates to 65,000 years ago! Fresh as the day it was made!
