Looking forward to hearing about everyone's projects. I'm presenting on @MicroPasts with @chiara_bonacchi about how our projects stand on the shoulders of our participants.

@chiara_bonacchi @JWexlerBM this project is very similar to the @MicroPasts bronze age index project. Good one for our reference.

Very interesting reading Alison Hadfield's piece on digital vs non digital replicas: findings are different from what emerged from our @MicroPasts research because of the different way of engaging with the digital objects in the two cases. Great read!https://t.co/fXXemHVbV9
