Hi folks!

I know some of you might have read about this elsewhere, but it's obviously worthy of attention here. A new journal is due out next year called Time and Mind under the grand editorship of Messrs Paul Devereux and Neil Mortimer (associate editors of Michael Winkelman [Arizon State University] & John Baker [Moorpark College] will be doing the overseas touch-ups).

Any healthy-minded serious archaeo/neuro/ psychoanthropic dood is gonna love this. Here's the basic blurb to get some of you in the mood:

"Time & Mind presents an international and interdisciplinary forum for new perspectives on landscape, monuments, people and culture. This lively peer-reviewed journal encourages frontier thinking that addresses the formative role of cognition in shaping our understanding of archaeological sites, landscapes and pre-modern world-views.

Topics Will Include:
- the phenomenology of landscape and skyscape and the effect on monument building and placement
- transpersonal anthropology
- the prehistory of mind
- the effect of ritual trance consciousness on monumental engineering, rock art and social structuring
- ancient and pre-industrial symbolic landscapes deriving from religious and methodological beliefs
- the symbolic use of lightand sound in monumental structures
- the multi-sensory properties of natural places venerated in antiquity
- religious and social symbolism in tribal art
- the cognition and memory of place and landscape
- the neurophysiology of ritual

The journal is encouraging submissions from: archaeologists, anthropologists, cognitive psychologists, folklorists, historians and papers relating to other relevant fields, including acoustics, astronomy, architecture, etc."

The first edition is planned for March 2008. Anyone pretending an understanding of megalithic and similar ancient ritual sites should look forward to it with immense anticipation. This is an academic journal which is gonna shake a few old-school lads off their rickety old-ladders; and importantly push forward our understanding of ancient man into arenas of understanding that have been edging up on (some of) us for many years now.
