In this episode we chat to the wonderful Neil Curtis, a man who we've got to know incredibly well as he joined our community on the very first day it launched back in July 2021!  Neil is now two years alcohol-free, and talks to us about how his second year of sobriety has felt different to the first - and how it has absolutely cemented his decision that living alcohol-free is the right choice for him.   Neil joined us on our first ever OTI event last year when we tackled the Yorkshire Three Peaks, and it was a tragic event at the top of the third mountain led him to decide to give up his time to help others in his second AF year. He tells us about what he's now fully qualified to do - and says that it wouldn't have happened had he not decided to remove alcohol from his life.   This conversation is inspiring, it's uplifting, and its real - Neil wouldn't mind us saying that he's a normal bloke from Northamptonshire who's now doing extraordinary things, because he decided to make a change.

S3 Ep124: Neil Curtis: 2 Years Alcohol Free!

This is a special episode of The Archaeology Show hosted by Tristan Boyle.Recently it was announced that a Benin Bronze, a statue head of an "Oba" or king, would be returned from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland to Nigeria.Head of Special Collections, Neil Curtis describes the process of repatriating the item as well as what that means for other items in the collection.Recently a number of books have been published that talk about the punitive expedition of 1897, where the British razed the city of Benin (modern day Nigeria) and looted various items from the people of Benin. Over the years, these cultural items were bought or taken into many museums, including the British Museum, National Museum of Scotland and Berlin Museum. Dan Hicks' recent book The Brutish Museums (Interviewed on Modern Myth) and Barnaby Philip's Loot both describe the violent removal of the Benin Bronzes by the British and where they are held today.Neil, however, makes the point that repatriating items back to communities is not a reactive process, and that this item in question had been in discussion for a while.Links The University of Aberdeen's Museums News Article about repatriation Neil Curtis Contact Chris Webster chris@archaeologypodcastnetwork.com Please Visit Our Sponsors!Archaeology Southwest Cafe: https://www.archaeologysouthwest.org/things-to-do/cafe/ Affiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular
