My two photos at the Neolithic site of Beidha. Top 1967: original excavation of the wall: the steps through the wall suggest it was not defensive. Very well preserved after 9000 years. Bottom 2014: photograph shows the relative degradation of the structure after only 47 years. 🏺

Can I have some help identifying the people in this photo, please? I am there, Ghanim Wahida is there and the bloke with the neck brace is called Diamond and worked on Use Wear. Other than that I have drawn a complete blank. Knossos, Villa Ariadne late 1960s, probably 1969 🏺

I have just discovered all these neat things on the Anthropology/Archaeology area. I suppose I should advertise my book here. The pdfs are available through ResearchGate, just ask me.
