A chilly, but bright, pilgrimage to Cranborne Chase. Having paid my respects to The General in Tollard Royal, fine views (and frost-bitten ears) walking to Win Green and back. My reward: tea, cake and books in Shaftesbury 🫖🍰📚

Pitt-Rivers in Kent: musketry and excavations This talk outlines the importance of Kent to the work and thinking of Augustus Pitt-Rivers - from his time as Instructor in Musketry at Hythe, to his excavations at Castle Hill (Caesar's Camp) in Folkstone, and his role in the scheduling of the Neolithic monument Kit's Coty House in his role as Inspector of Ancient Monuments. Introducing the major re-assessment of Pitt-Rivers' work and life presented in Dan's new book Every Monument Will Fall: a story of remembering and forgetting, the talk will set Pitt-Rivers' activities in the county in the context of contemporary debates over heritage, museums, monuments, public memory — and the so-called 'culture war'.

Don't forget this Thursday, 18th September the KAS will be hosting @ProfDanHicks in the next of our series of online talks: Pitt-Rivers in Kent: musketry and excavations.

Necklace of unworked coral with old handwritten museum label

#coral necklace in #Scarborough art gallery said to be a #charm against #witchcraft and toothache.
Quite a #pittrivers vibe to the label but also frustrating: where from and how do they know it’s #16thc?
