Ffion Reynolds - Stone Club Walks and Talks

Our guest today is artist and archaeologist Dr Ffion Reynolds. Join Ffion and Stone Club's Matthew Shaw as they discuss Archaeology, the arts, community and the mysterious world and connections of mycelium networks and their mushrooms!Dr Ffion Reynolds was born in Cardiff, Wales, UK. She trained as an archaeologist at Cardiff University, completing her PhD at the university, focusing on the rock art of the Neolithic passage tombs of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth in Co. Meath, Ireland, and then broadening her research interests to include the subject of worldview; studying shamanism, totemism and animism.Currently, she co-directs a public archaeology excavation in the multi-period landscape around the important site of Bryn Celli Ddu Neolithic passage tomb, on the island of Anglesey. Bryn Celli Ddu (The Mound in the Dark Grove), is a significant Neolithic passage tomb in north-west Wales, and sits in a landscape of rock art. Over the course of the project which started in 2015, 12 new rock art panels have been discovered and recorded using digital archaeology techniques.
