Happy to be presenting my book & comic project tonight at the University of Cagliari, during an interdisciplinary seminar as part of my Visiting Professorship.
As I've been spending the past few days translating the 'comic' section of it into French from the original English, and will be presenting this in Italian, it really makes me think about how language shapes how we think and write about the world, beyond images.

Slide showing the three sections of the book, 1. Locking the line; 2. Making the line; 3. Holding the line; each with a choice of drawing to illustrate the theme. The first shows a fence used; the second a hand holding a historic map; and the third shows workers laying a border stone.

Back to Nuraghe Losa, on my way to teach in Cagliari (Sardinia), sharing the amazing Bronze Age sites with family, this time.

In the last few days, in between teaching & writing, I visited two more Nuraghic sites near Siddi dating from the Bronze Age, on a slight high plane above the fertile lowlands of Sardinia: one corridor-shaped (not the usual beehive dome style) at Sa Fogaia; one “giant’s tomb” called Sa Domu ‘e S’Orcu (i.e. house of the orcs!). Both practically empty in April & open to visitors to climb around and inside. Extraordinary places!

Inside, a man (my geographer friend & colleague Andrea Corsale, from Unica in Cagliari!) takes a photo with his phone, pointing upwards. The ceiling is about triple his height
Large tomb structure formed a truly massive rocks in a gently sloping facade, with a central door beneath a massive rock
Inside corridor about 1.5 meters wide and about 4 or 5 meters long where bodies were apparently placed. Some smaller niches to one side. The roof is slightly collapsed at the other end, allowing light to stream in
