The Megalithic Portal

The Megalithic Portal (http://www.megalithic.co.uk) is a web resource dedicated to prehistoric archaeology and closely related subjects. Many ancient sites have disappeared over the last 50 years or so due to development and intensive agriculture. The Megalithic Portal's mission is to document, publicise and protect those that remain and help to ensure their preservation for future generations. [1]

Information is contributed by thousands of visitors from all over the world, on types of prehistoric monument from chambered tombs and standing stones to hillforts and settlements, and much in between. There are many tens of thousands of listings, and over the years the site has extended beyond prehistoric megaliths, extending to, for example Pictish symbol stones in Scotland. So while still calling itself the Megalithic Portal, it is has also become the biggest online repository of data on related areas of interest such as holy wells and ancient crosses in the UK. [2]

Founded by electronics engineer Andy Burnham, the immense site database began in 1997 [3] as Megalithic Mysteries [4], and the Prehistoric Web Index [5], from a database he originally compiled. The Megalithic Portal has existed in its current form since February 2001. [6] The information is maintained by a team of voluntary editors and administrators and has become the centre of a keen user group. Contributors have been known to give up their jobs to travel, researching little-known ancient sites to add to the database. In 2002, Archaeology Magazine reviewed the Megalithic Portal, describing it as 'useful, fun, and accurate'. [7]

Site features include: Comprehensive listing of prehistoric and related sites in the UK, Europe and worldwide searchable by name, type, location, grid reference, quality of remains and ease of access. Entries contain descriptions, comments and photographs from visitors, with links to local weather, accommodation, maps and further websites (over 2,500). Over 60 site types include stone and timber circles, rows, barrows and tombs of all sorts, surviving and destroyed

The interactive Megalith Map now covers the whole of Europe [8]. Tens of thousands of sites are plotted, arranged as layers that can be turned on and off, zoomed and browsed according to site type and area. The map leads to live database entries containing, where possible, details of what remains today, what has been found in the past, and information on access, photographs, visitors' comments and a list of other nearby sites. Its listings are often referenced by noted web sites [9] and in recent books on megaliths [10] and Holy Wells [11].

The Egallery contains over 30,000 photographs of ancient sites from around the UK and worldwide [12]. Photographs are divided by location, with specialist galleries such as the Spirit of Place (best pictures of ancient sites) the Art Gallery (visitors’ drawings and paintings) and the History Gallery (places of interest outside the definition of prehistory)

News stories from the world of prehistory, updated daily, with original articles and book reviews. The Megalithic Portal's news feeds are often referenced from other archaeological web sites [13] [14]

A Forum for the exchange of ideas and thoughts on stones, prehistory, sacred sites and mysteries

A facility allowing visitors to submit their own articles and photographs

Downloads of data suitable for use with Google Earth, GeoRSS feeds, GPS and third-party mapping tools, links to download e-books, articles, audio and other resources

Mick Walsh (Songwriter/Singer)

Mick Walsh is a hit songwriter, actor and singer from Stevenage, Herts in the UK. Born into a poor Irish family he rose to the top of his profession when he co-wrote Dirty Cash (Money Talks) with Steve Vincent (Stevie V) back in 1989. The song, performed by the band The Adventures Of Stevie V (Steve Vincent, Melody Washington and multi instrumentalist Mick Walsh) was turned down by six top record companies before the band signed with Mercury in the same year. The first Mercury release was a flop and the record struggled to make the BBC top 100. Eventually due to the tenacity of the band plus Steve Vincent's refusal to let the song die, the song reached New York on white label and was heard by Producer David Morales who remixed the track. The Morales re-mix was re-released in the Summer of 1990 and the track shot to the top of the charts eventually knocking Madonna's "Vogue" off the number 2 spot in the UK. The song was beaten to the coveted number 1 spot by Adamski's "Killer" featuring the singer Seal. At the final countdown Killer beat Dirty Cash to number one by just 40 units. Dirty Cash stayed on the BBC chart for 12 weeks in the UK. In the US the song reached 25 on the Billboard Top 100 and number 1 in the US Dance chart. Two further singles followed, Body Language and Jealousy. Later that Summer they produced the album "The Adventures Of Stevie V". The band broke up the following year but Mick Walsh went on to write another US dance number 1 hit in the shape of Set Me Free by Clubland. Mick went on to be a backing singer and sang back up for Paul McCartney and the Spice Girls among others. He is now a successful vocal coach in New Jersey, USA.

Antennae, Journal of Nature in Visual Culture

History

Antennae is the online Journal of Nature in Visual Culture. It was founded in September 2006 by Giovanni Aloi, a London based Lecturer in History of Art and Media Studies at Queen Mary University, City of Westminster College, City Lit and Tate Galleries. The magazine combines a heightened level of academic scrutiny of animals in art, (as evidenced by a two-volume issue dedicated to the ways in which our human intellectual and culture models have been influenced by the natural history of insects), with a less formal and more experimental format designed to appeal to audiences of academics, artists and general public alike. Lavishly illustrated and focusing on a different thematic subject for each issue, Antennae is currently only available online and is a quarterly publication (1).

Context

In June 2000, a two-page feature published by the New York Times titled, ‘Animals have taken over art and art wonders why’ brought to the surface the increasing presence of animals in contemporary art (2). As the field of Human-Animal Studies increasingly developed over the past decade, the multidisciplinary approach that is distinctive of the subject suggested that a publication like Antennae could be potentially well received. Inspired by the work of Steve Baker, (Senior Lecturer in the Department of Historical and Critical Studies at the University of Central Lancashire, UK), the author of influential books ‘The Postmodern Animal’(3) and ‘Picturing the Beast’, (4)and wanting to cross the boundaries of academic knowledge, Antennae’s first issue was made available online on the 21st of March 2007 (the beginning of Spring) as a 31-pages PDF document to download for free. This issue featured 7 articles, including the work of artist Rosemarie McGoldrick and London Fieldworks.

Contents and Scope

Antennae quickly became a hit amongst artists, academics, curators and those interested in art, animal, environmental issues around the world. Its second issue featured greatly expanded content, presenting an improved design, and an enriched focus on environmental problematics as well as articles covering the field of human-animal issues. The issue featured an exclusive interview with Eugenie Harvey, the co-founder of ‘We Are What We Do’(5), the ‘eco-warrior movement’ responsible for ‘I’m Not a Plastic Bag’, the must-have eco-item designed by Anya Hindmarch in 2007, highlighting the plight of supermarket plastic bags. Amongst the other articles, the Journal offered a mixture of academic and non-academic writing exploring topics like ‘The Victorian Animal’, animal-human interactivity (Ken Rinaldo), establishing at the same time a clear multidisciplinary approach. The issue also introduced the BASN (6) (British Animal Studies Network) founded by Erica Fudge, eminent historian with a strong publishing record in Human-Animal Studies; and ‘Culture in the Wild; a series of meetings organised by Mo Dodson, aiming at untangling the current state affair between sociology, environment and media studies. Antennae is read in: UK, Italy, France, Russia, USA, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The magazine is not founded, supported by or affiliated with a University and it does not benefit from advertising of any kind.(7)
