Stage 17 \/\/ Bercianos del Real Camino – Mansilla de las Mulas [26,3km]<\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/pilgrimchat.chat-arch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/17_MansillaMulas.jpeg\")
<\/figure>\nAgain a quite long distance for today. Again a landscape full of small details and begining a more clear transition into the mountain. There is almost nothing in the way, beyond many infraestructure for pilgrims. If you are lucky, maybe you can see some light plane, as you will pass by a small aerodrome… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although they are present along the whole way, from this region you can also pay more attention to the ‘cruceiros’, big crossess that follow the camino and mark relevant places in the landscape, like crossing points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And… as you can see in the image<\/a>, Mansilla has a wall!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wayside archaeology is my new(ish) area of research, which seeks both to appreciate lesser-known sites but also to think beyond the structures (mental and physical) which make up \u2018heritage\u2019. As well as expanding public interest, I argue we should now be setting out our future interpretations of current sites, lest we be misinterpreted in the years to come. I will reference the science fantasy series \u2018the Book of the New Sun\u2019 by Gene Wolfe as well as the work of future archaeologist Robert Smithson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10:30 GMT \u2013 A history of my grandmother in stolen airline cutlery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nGabriel Moshenska<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nI inherited very little from my grandmother, but in clearing out her home after her death I made sure to keep hold of the small bundle of cutlery that she had stolen, mostly from airlines, during her lifetime. Air travel is a peculiar experience of liminality, non-places, and diverse sensory environments, and airline food is a key part of this experience. For my grandmother, air travel was a great luxury, and a connection to people spread across the world. The knives, forks and spoons that she stole were souvenirs of these experiences, and in retrospect they map her life as a child of poverty, a colonial settler, a reluctant traveller, a cook, a host, and as part of a spatially dispersed network of kinship and friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11:00 GMT \u2013 \u2018Industrial Archaeology as Pilgrimage: Venerating the Bridgewater Canal & Mines at Worsley, 1761 to 2011\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMichael Nevell<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nSince Industrial Archaeology emerged as a sub-discipline in the late 1950s and early 1960s there has been a tendency in Britain to both memorialise sites as THE birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, and to turn industrial archaeology and heritage remains into visitor attractions, inviting the public in to take part in a particular type of heritage experience. Often, but not always, these two approaches go together. This tendency to promote both memorialisation and tourism goes back to the very beginnings of the industrialisation process in Britain. An early and long-lived case study is the underground coal mines at Worsley and their entrance via the Bridgewater Canal (usually seen as the industrial canal that promoted the canal revolution) in Salford, Greater Manchester. This twitter paper will look as successive waves of tourism and memorialisation, including royalty, politicians, and industrial espionage, focussed on the business end of one of the most iconic sites of the Industrialising period, from the opening of the canal in 1761. These waves were stimulated by conscious attempts at commemoration on significant anniversaries (the 100th, 150th, 200th and 250th anniversaries of the canal\u2019s opening), most recently in 2011. It will look at the different motivations of visitors and will reflect on the changing interpretations of and access to the canal and the coal mine entrances from the 18th to the early 21st century\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
