To submit an article please email your regional CITiZAN Community Archaeologist with your text and up to five images.
- A blog written by York University placement student Eleri Newman, looking at the development of prehistoric boats.
- A blog by Rebecca Little, Apprentice on the Discover Thanet's Coast project about her experience working with CITiZAN at Pegwell Bay, Kent and beyond.
- Join CITiZAN and a volunteer for a stroll in words and pictures around the archaeology of North Sheilds and Tynemouth.
- Lifesaving in the North was at the forefront when it came to developing it and the archaeology is still present on the coasts today. The blog looks at the first purpose built lifeboat station, the first lifeboat service, the first purpose built lifeboat and the first volunteer life brigade for shore to sea rescue.
- The CITiZAN team have been working to record certain sites around the coast using photogrammetry to create 3D models. These models can then be explored and investigated with sub-centimetre accuracy safely out of reach of the tides. Photogrammetry has proven useful as part of CITIZAN's rapid recording methodology and we expect to cover a wider range of sites and features next year.
