An insightful quote from Oliver Creighton in his 2012 book 'Early Medieval Castles': "the slighting and desecration of a donjon could in certain instances mark the discontinuity of lordship" #slighting #archaeology #castles

One of the best examples is the destruction of Kenilworth Castle in the mid-17th century. It's not a medieval event, but the same idea of discontinuity applies.

This time next week I'll be in Penrith for the #ChateauGaillard conference. It's my first time at the CG conference and I'm incredibly excited, not least because it's the first conference since 2005 that I've seen explicitly mention #slighting.

It's about digital methods and skills. It reminded me of a personal favourite application of data skills. This is a timeline of King John's movements in one year of his reign. neolography.com/timelines/JohnItinerary.html

It was very helpful for me when trying to understand where he was when he gave instructions to slight #PevenseyCastle and #KneppCastle. Having a visual component to data is so important. #slighting #castles

Fascinating example of early medieval deliberate destruction of a probable tower. Multiple methods of destruction, here infilling and burning, make the destruction more intentional. The inclusion of a hoard would be very unusual at a slighted castle, which perhaps sets it apart from #slighting. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00665983.2008.11020749 #MedievalArchaeology #archaeology #castles #destruction #TheArchaeologicalJournal

I didn't expect to find myself reading about the possible #slighting of Stonehenge tonight. To get in the mood, I've got the article on one screen and the recording of the summer solstice sunrise on another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2KHYef-LRU&t=2137s #archaeology

One of the dynamics of anger Aristotle points out in Rhetoric book 2 is people getting angry when they think others slight things they care about. Interestingly one of the examples is . . . philosophy!
