‘It was especially interesting to find out a little bit about zooarchaeology as you don’t often get the chance to meet people with expertise in this subject.’

Thank you to Lenny for facilitating this project, and to Dan, Mya and Grace for their enthusiasm!

TAP Spotlight on: Creswell Crags 🦣

Yesterday, the TAP team visited Dr Kevin Kuykendall and TAP interns, Xitong and Ellis, at their TAP internship at Creswell Crags in Worksop.

[Transforming and Activating Places @TAP_UoS]

This place-related work will produce a conceptually different definition of place, incorporating the many dimensions of knowledge and understanding through time at Creswell Crags.

We wish our interns the best of luck in their project which is a fantastic example of student KE!
