We’re live! Check out the new shiny project I’m working on ⛴️

[MOLA @MOLArchaeology]

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. https://t.co/V5EbRj2Kpp

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...)

[Kit Ackland @digging_kit]

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 💚

@AvantiWestCoast you need to enforce your quiet coach rules, I book it every time so I can work / read in peace and EVERY time someone is playing a video or music out loud or having a phone call on loud speaker 😡😡 what’s even the point???

[Kit Ackland @digging_kit]

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! 😁

[MOLA @MOLArchaeology]

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.
