- We've Storified our conference so you can visit - or revist - virtually!
- A blog written by one of our volunteers, Angus, after he visited the outreach event at Blyth in Northumberland.
- This year CITiZAN's South East team teamed up with the National Trust and Heritage Futures for two training events on the dramatically beautiful Orford Ness. We recorded features teetering on a shingle shelf, the remains of a WWI POW Camp and even squeezed in a tour of the Lighthouse. Read on for a brief history of Orford Ness and a summary of what we've been up to there.
- Submerged prehistoric landscapes can be found all along the English coastline, most of these are vulnerable to rising sea levels, severe storms and the erosion of the tide. They are one of the key types of sites CITiZAN are focusing on. This blog focuses on three such sites: Cleethorpes, Hightown and Pett Level.
- John Matthews, one of Team North's most regular volunteers, discovered CITiZAN and inter-tidal archaeology on a sunny day in Cleethorpes in 2015 where he helped record a prehistoric trackway eroding out of the peat. This day on site rekindled his interest in archaeology and helped inspire a surprising passion for 20th-century coastal defences.
