Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Thanks for that, it's all very interesting. I'd not really heard of phenomonology in the way it is described in the link someone posted and felt it was a bit inaccessible.

However I have recently got a book called the phenomonology of landscape which I've not read yet but I understood it in an archaeological sense to refer to the sybolic way in which ancient people or otherwise encountered their landscape both in a real and spiritual sense, which I thought was exactly what the programme last night was exploring i.e. a real and imaginery line (the cursus) defining a zone of the living from a zone of the dead etc etc.

Why rivers, hills, pottery, stone axes, ditches etc were sacred rather than just functional entities in peoples minds. Not be that familiar with phenomonology I'm not sure.

Would welcome anyones thoughts.
