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. […]
Orkney and the HBC
Throughout the summer of 2021 our 3DVisLab collaborated with the Stromness Museum on a project to design a new digital resource for the museum which would be both online and installed on a touchscreen in the exhibition. Our aim was to explore around 80 objects in their collections relating to Orkney’s history with the Hudson’s […]
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).

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 […]
Some Thoughts on Gaming and Interaction in Archaeology
A week or so ago I travelled down from Dundee to York to do some structured light scanning of an artefact for a heritage company and while I was there I took the opportunity to catch up with the brilliant Tara Copplestone. If you’re up on your blogging archaeologists you may already know Tara as the ‘Gamingarchaeo’ […]

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 […]
Leiston Abbey: Digging and Drones with Dig Ventures
Really excited to share a film Baxter and I have been working on over the course of the past year with Dig Ventures and English Heritage. Brendon at Dig Ventures approached us last year with a challenge, should we choose to accept it – using drone footage captured by Adam Stanford (Aerial Cam) and an earlier reconstruction […]
Grand Challenges for Digital Archaeology
As part of the Blogging Archaeology Carnival run by Doug Rocks-Macqueen over at Doug’s Archaeology I’ve been invited to write a wee blog post addressing the theme of “Grand Challenges” for archaeology. As luck would have it I wrote a paper last year addressing the same topic in the context of challenging digital archaeology, so I […]
Broadlands Farm: Gaming and an Interactive Archive
Right guys – it’s official, after a wee hiatus this year (have been unbelievably busy, all exciting stuff of course) I’m returning to blogging with full force! As most of you know, in the year or so since I finished my PhD I’ve set myself up to operate freelance and have been working on a wide range of […]
