- Over the last 18 months the CITiZAN team have been exploring, recording and mapping the mysterious archaeological features that are emerging from the mud. Lead by an amazing group of volunteers, the work on Mersea has focussed on the southern shore, in particular the Coopers Beach area. Here the mudflats extend some 900m to the sea, and, as we now know, back into a long lost landscape.
- This Summer CITiZAN Recorded an eroding lime-kiln in the cliff face of Dell Point in Beadnell, Northumberland. One of our volunteers has written a blog looking at some of the interesting archaeology around Beadnell looking at the lime and fishing industry there.
- A look at CITiZAN archaeologists' and volunteers' monitoring trip to Orford Ness, following the high winds and surge of 14 January.
