On the occasion of the death of world famous #Neolithic #archaeologist and Tory peer #ColinRenfrew we have a few things to say.

Looking down at us from the #Cambridge high table, he made some severe misjudgements. His #sapientparadox was an attempt to argue that while #Homosapiens bodies evolved in #Africa, somehow we didn't get smart till we hit #Europe.

Also highly questionable was his attitude to the #cognition of #huntergatherers who, so he said, 'lacked fully developed mind'. According to him, they needed to borrow language from farmers.

We had some big political and social institutional differences with Renfrew. Our own Chris Knight goes through the whole context in a review below

Hey, #archaeologists! As archaeologists, we tend to be the doing sort, the busybodies shoveling and sorting, keeping and caring, custodians of time, places, people, it's time to lean into that!

Today I'm a little sombre because I learned that my old #archaeology lecturer, Prof Tim Darvill, passed away this weekend from cancer.

I only had intermittent contact with him throughout my first degree but things I remember that you should know are:
- He was always hopeful, in all that he did
- He always had time for you and your ideas
- He played guitar in The Standing Stones

As a bonus he was also an eminent #prehistorian, #archaeologist, author, and #Stonehenge expert.

Rest well, Tim.

Be sure to check out our interview with #archaeologist and historian, Dr. Eric H. Cline, as we talk about his latest publication, After 1177 B.C.: The Survival of Civilizations, the collapse of the #BronzeAge, the #SeaPeoples, excavating Megiddo and more.
