Ses Paisses (Poblat) — Fieldnotes

Make sure you check the opening hours at the museum in the centre of the town before walking out here, especially on a blisteringly hot day.

Spanish austerity means the opening hours we'd seen published were no longer up to date, and it was shut when we arrived. Very disappointing!

On the trail of ancient Slavs


Interesting article in The Moscow News about burial mounds. "Only" 1000 years old, but there seem to be a lot of parallels with the kind of older mounds we're more used to.

Hully Hill Monument (Artificial Mound) — Fieldnotes

Despite the planes overhead and the motorways nearby, I didn't actually find this a depressing site like some of the previous visitors evidently have.

Maybe it's because it was a bright sunny day, the grass had just been cut, and there was a total absence of feral children.
