A load of old balls - Tea Break 17

What this episode covers

In this month's tea-break, Matilda is joined by Andrew Meirion Jones, Professor of Archaeology at Stockholm University and one of several researchers who have attempted to unravel the mystery of the elusive Scottish Carved Stone Balls. If you're looking for a definitive answer, then this isn't the episode for you (or the podcast really!), but tune in if you're interested in hearing about the different theories, learning how they were made, and finding out about the link between them and ancient Peruvians taking hallucinogens… Transcripts For rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/teabreak/17 Links * UHI Lecture by Dr Hugo Anderson-Whymark [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y2iAW7pduM&list=PLWnINJNR6mcE_0TzfTI5JLq62deGPNllF&index=1&t=15s] * ScRAP Webinar by Dr Hugo Anderson-Whymark [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEzKPBTdbmA&list=PLWnINJNR6mcE_0TzfTI5JLq62deGPNllF&index=4] * SAS lecture by Dr Alison Sheridan [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy_pKDVE6JQ&list=PLWnINJNR6mcE_0TzfTI5JLq62deGPNllF&index=7] * English Heritage / Dr James Dilley making a carved stone ball [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xIqHk52K4Y&list=PLWnINJNR6mcE_0TzfTI5JLq62deGPNllF&index=3] * "Carved Stone Balls" paper by Dorothy Marshall [http://soas.is.ed.ac.uk/index.php/psas/article/view/8959/8927] * "Making a Mark" paper by Andrew Meirion Jones and Marta Díaz-Guardamino [https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/9A1CA5F7473B3D80FE837E0713396CDE/S0959774321000512a.pdf/div-class-title-making-a-mark-process-pattern-and-change-in-the-british-and-irish-neolithic-div.pdf] * Blackfoot Project [https://mootookakiossin.ca/] * Coa LANDcraft project (Portugal) [https://m.facebook.com/people/Coa-Landcraft/100087132361220/] Guest Contact Name: Dr Andrew Meirion Jones email: [email protected] Contact the Host * Email: [email protected] * https://www.thearchaeologiststeacup.com [https://www.thearchaeologiststeacup.com/] * insta: @the_archaeologists_teacup [https://www.instagram.com/the_archaeologists_teacup] * fb: /TheArchaeologistsTeacup [https://www.facebook.com/TheArchaeologistsTeacup] * twitter: @ArchaeoTeacup [https://www.twitter.com/ArchaeoTeacup] Affiliates * Motion: https://www.archpodnet.com/motion * Motley Fool Save $110 off the full list price of Stock Advisor for your first year, go to  https://zen.ai/apnfool and start your investing journey today! *$110 discount off of $199 per year list price.
