- 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.
- A blog exploring Canvey Island, often overlooked but archaeologically and historically interesting - and well worth a visit.
- The south west team hosted the annual CITiZAN Turn the Tide conference on the SS Great Britain in Bristol on Saturday 8th October. Find out about the day and see some wonderful pictures.
