With the onset of Britain’s third covid-19 lockdown within a year, Triskele Heritage will be stepping up to try and provide some (hopefully) entertaining and informative free public talks. The weekly lockdown lectures will feature the fruits of our research so you can be sure that the content will all be bang up to date!
Each week we will host a lockdown lecture freely accessible to anyone with a web connection via Zoom. All you need to do is register via Eventbrite and – when the time for the talk rolls around – grab your favourite beverage of choice, get comfy and enjoy.
Our next event will take place at 17:30GMT on Thursday 18 March 2021 and will focus on the Public & Community Archaeology.
PLEASE NOTE the slightly later-than-usual start time of 17.30GMT.
Booking is now available via Eventbrite.
Due to our licensing agreement with Zoom tickets for each event will be limited to 495 places. If you cannot make it after booking, please do return your ticket so that someone else can enjoy the talk instead.
Please note that this is a live event only and there will not be a recording of the talk available afterwards.
If you have a question about the event – in the first instance please see our FAQs section. The answer will almost certainly be in there.
More information on the talk
A panel discussion session as part of the Triskele Heritage Lockdown Lecture series. This week James Wright will speak with three professional archaeologists with a strong involvement in bringing the discipline to the general public.
Community archaeology takes many forms – it can be the presentation of a talk, teaching a workshop or a course, providing media content, designing an interpretation panel, running a project with volunteers… there are so very many options.
Nathalie Cohen was formerly the project coordinator of citizen science project the Thames Discovery Project and is now heavily involved in promoting archaeology to public audiences through her work with both the National Trust and Canterbury Cathedral.
David Connolly runs the British Archaeological Jobs & Resources which provides a vital role in offering advice and direction to all those interested in the subject from absolute novices to hardened veterans. He is responsible for the foundation of the Archaeological Skills Passport and the RESPECT project.
Chloe Duckworth is an academic currently working at Newcastle University. She will be familiar to many through her amazing ArcheoDuck Youtube channel in which she interviews archaeologists and gets them to explain their role to the public. She is also a presenter on More4’s The Great British Dig.
James Wright is an award winning buildings archaeologist. He has two decades professional experience of ferreting around in people’s cellars, hunting through their attics and digging up their gardens.
