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. […]
Greenland Science Week 2021
Next in my belated ‘catch up’ posts for 2021 is a trip to Greenland back in November to run a series of community photogrammetry workshops for Greenland Science Week 2021 in Sisimiut and Sarfannguit with collaborators Hans Harmsen (Nunatta Katersugaasivia Allagaateqarfialu // Greenland National Museum & Archives) and Katie Grow Allen (SUNY Potsdam). Lamp, Narsannguaq […]
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 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 […]
NEoN at the Abandon Normal Devices Festival
Baxter and I are gearing up to make the long drive down to the Castleton in the Peak District for the start of the Abandon Normal Devices (AND) Festival which promises to be rife with “vertical adventures, a roaming biennial of digital culture, new cinema & art.” Sounds intriguing right? We’re excited. We’ll be talking […]
Adventures in Alaska
Last week I returned home after spending just shy of a month working in Quinhagak, Alaska excavating a pre-contact Yup’ik sod house at Nunalleq. I’d known about this dig for a number of years, after Dr Gordon Noble (head of archaeology at Aberdeen Uni) snuck me down to the storeroom to have a peek at […]
SERF Digital: Gearing up for Going Online
UPDATE: The app is now online and you can explore it via the links on this page! Last week Tessa and I headed through to Edinburgh to give a talk about our work on the Serf Digital project at Historic Environment Scotland (who very kindly supported the initial pilot project and we’re excited to say have granted […]
A Foray into 3D Printing
Now and again a project comes up that challenges me to explore a new technique or technology for the first time. One such job came across my desk recently which I thought was certainly worth a wee blog post. Earlier this summer I completed work preparing a number of Egyptian canopic jars from Luxor to be 3D printed. The project […]
