We’re live! Check out the new shiny project I’m working on ⛴️
We’re mapping a century of coastal change with Coasts in Mind 🌊
Thanks to a generous grant from @HeritageFundUK and @LR_Foundation, we’re empowering communities to map the impact of climate change on some of England's most vulnerable coastlines.

One of the veterans we supported this year on @DigWaterloo is running the London marathon to raise money for the project! 💚
Please consider sharing or donating. Every bit helps. gofund.me/ccaaee3c

I'm slowly making my way over to Bluesky, so if I've not followed you yet I'm @digging-kit.bsky.social (and no I can't figure out how to stop the digging being a hyperlink...)

But seriously though, @DigWaterloo is amazing project, and it always pops up in my life when I need it most. This years dig helped me just as much as it did the veterans 💚

Look! A thing I poured blood, sweat, and tears into!
I had to teach myself how to use UE5, Blender, and edit videos to make this educational video for use in schools. Not bad under the circumstances! 😁
Explore our virtual reality roundhouse in this new video!
Aimed at Key Stage 2 classes, you’ll get an introduction to archaeology before diving into a guided tour of our VR Iron Age settlement, inspired by real roundhouses from the @A428Cat excavations.
