New project: Introduction to Jungian archaeology

Current Mind Map (The Brain) for the project (click image to enlarge)

An "introduction to..." book is usually written to familiarize people with an an existing topic, but for this one, the topic does not yet exist and I am introducing it as a potential topic. How does the mind influence archaeological interpretation and how do these interpretations vary according to personal and collective psychology?

The mind map is being constructed in order to create the basic outline for the book. Each title opens to a notes field and reveals further thoughts, links to other thoughts, and links to documents. Eventually, it will be arranged as an outline order instead of alphabetically, but it will not become the chapter headings (that will be another another title with its own "children".

An introduction will include the basics of Jungian psychology necessary to understand the text.

How long this will take to complete, I have no idea. I'm hoping it will be done within a year, but we hope for lots of things! I will post updates here and perhaps also on Research Gate and Academia.edu.

If I feel the need to take a break from it, I might write a book on training Coydogs.
