Back to Quinhagak
I’m very happy to share that after a nearly 3 year hiatus I spent last week back in Quinhagak, Alaska working in the culture center on our new project! Last year Charlotta (University of Aberdeen) and I were awarded an AHRC follow-on-funding grant to develop a new ‘digital museum and catalogue’ for the Nunalleq collection. […]
Burghead Short Film
A bit behind to update my research blog with recent work (somehow missing the entirety of 2021 updates!) but there have been a few exciting projects over the past year or so that I’d like to share over a few posts. First up is the Burghead film which came out this past November and was […]

The Nunalleq Project in The Conversation UK
Excited to have an article I wrote about my experiences working in Quinhagak published in The Conversation UK! Of late I’ve met a few negative attitudes towards the Nunalleq collection being housed in the village rather than a big city museum, so I wrote this as a personal account to take those people by the […]

Nunalleq: Stories from the Village of our Ancestors — Nunalleq 2018
Hi folks, Alice here checking in for my much overdue blog post this season (sorry Charlotta!). For the past year and a half I’ve been working on developing an educational resource for the site aimed at elementary schoolkids to share the story of the Nunalleq Archaeology Project. It runs like a computer program so when […] […]
The Shieling Project
I try to share as much recent work on here as possible – mainly because I’m terrible for updating my folio website – but also because it’s always nice to write up a project with a bit of a story along side it so the blog is a good forum for that. I’ve just finished […]
Dundee to Newtyle Railway: Making-Of
Last year Kieran and I were approached by the Dundee City Council and MTC Media to produce a series of short films and animations depicting key periods in the history of Dundee Law (the iconic hill in the centre of Dundee). Amongst the material the Council had sourced for the project were a series of […]
Reconstructing Kildalton Chapel: a project with Archaeovision and Islay Heritage
Back in Springtime this year Kieran and I made the trip over to Islay on the west coast of Scotland to conduct a site visit and photogrammetry survey of Kildalton Chapel on behalf of Archaeovision, themselves commissioned by Islay Heritage. Archaeovision were tasked with producing an interactive virtual model of the site representing it both […]
