Blog Entry 6- Thoughts on Howard Williams' Blog

Picture of a roadside memorial Howard Williams took and accompanied the post I will be critiquing 

This blog response will be based on my exploration of Howard William's blog.The blog post I chose to read, because the title captured my attention is called " Death and Deposition: Roadside Memorials and Roadpeace";  Reading the title, I thought it would have to do with how bodies of the diseased were placed in regards to travelling back in the day (the deposition part), but instead, I found out some interesting tidbits about roads in the UK and charities associated with deaths due to road collisions and how they commemorate the people affected.
At the beginning, I felt I was transported to that road side by the author in that he was very descriptive and painted a great picture,  not just with words but including pictures of the actual setting. Williams introduces the sensitive topic of roadside deaths so it is more approachable, then moves on into commenting about published academic articles on the topic and also tries to make it parallel to  finds in other parts of England. In summary, he makes a topic that it also pertinent to the archaeology of death, which is the commemoration of roadside deaths with memorials, also approachable to not just academics but the general public.On the other hand, meaning this in the most in a non-offensive manner, I found the blog lengthy and written in a manner more easily understood by someone from the UK, so not necessarily as accessible to all English speakers.
