Crazy Monuments and Cargo Cults: What happens when cultures meet
TEAtime lecture given on 27th November 2014
Delivered by Dr Josh Pollard, Head of Archaeology at the University of Southampton
This lecture will explore some of the unusual outcomes brought about by the meeting of very different cultures. A particular focus will be on how societies respond to these ‘disrupting’ events through the building of monuments and the performance of cult activities. Two case studies will be used: the first relating to Stonehenge and other large Neolithic (3rd millennium BC) monuments in southern England, and the first appearance of metal using groups from Continental Europe; the second exploring events in Polynesia at the time of European exploration and contact during the 18th-early 20th centuries. While quite disparate in time and space, common themes can be found.

Allan Ward video of the Monklands Ramblers - monklandsramblers.org.uk
Hello, these are the home pages of the Monklands Ramblers Club, one of the largest R.A. clubs in Scotland, and the first Scottish R.A. club on the Internet! We are based in the Monklands area of Central Scotland in North Lanarkshire, some 12 miles east of Glasgow. The two major towns in the area are Airdrie and Coatbridge, and it is from these towns that the majority of our 150+ members come from. There are also a significant number of members from other areas of Lanarkshire, in particular, Hamilton and Blantyre.
The club was formed in the summer of 1985 by a few local people who were interested in hill-walking. At that time the walks were fairly informally organised and people travelled to the walks in cars. Nowadays we are organised into a proper club with a full elected committee. Our members consist of people from all walks of life ranging in age from 20 - 75. We run a 53 seater coach or minibus to all of our walks (which are always covered beforehand by the leaders), we have walks programmes which cover Scotland and northern England and cater for all levels of fitness, and we occasionally go as far afield as Austria for special one-off walking holidays. Monklands Ramblers also has a very active social scene with regular dances, quiz nights and ten-pin bowling outings organised by the committee.
The club has actively and successfully campaigned for rights of way to be maintained and enhanced in the North Lanarkshire area. We have also become very much a part of the local community with frequent acknowledgement of our activities in the local press. The club is extremely successful simply because of the effort and support shown by the members. We consider ourselves a friendly bunch of people who always have a great time irrespective of the unpredictable Scottish weather! We would also be delighted to welcome along any new walkers who may be considering joining us - so come on, contact us today!
