Sligo read through its place-names, landscape and stories, beginning with its last untranslated name: the stream on the Sligo–Leitrim border that appears to flow backwards.

The 2,500-year-old scientific philosophy behind this work: Parmenides and Heraclitus for the ontology, Epicurus for the method, and what follows when dualism is set aside, beginning with the moving edge of the living body.

Archaeology reframed as a signal science: the record as a signal degraded across time, read with the same tools physics and astronomy use for signals that travel through space. From landscape patterns at Rathra to what SETI and archaeology have to say to each other.

Sligo town is built inside one of Europe's most significant Neolithic landscapes. A seven-part study of what that means for planning, housing and heritage in the twenty-first century.
