 I'm focused mostly on my projects I've been running, or helping from, I guess, on sort of a citizen science project, working with local communities along the coast and tidal areas of England. So we're working with them to investigate this archaeology. And they used a couple of buzzwords, so I apologize for that. So I'll give you a quick primer in coastal intertidal zone. So we're a citizen, which is the coastal and intertidal zone archaeology network. Because we, like, stamp the acronyms. So that's the heck of a bad acronym there. But coast and intertidal zone, what the heck does that mean? So we know where the coast is, that the edge touches the sea. But intertidal zone, I'm going to use that a lot. So that just means our foreshore as well. So anything that's covered at high water and exposed at low water or the beach is the next one. And I'm going to use tidal range as well, so that's sort of the difference between high and low tide. But anyway, so in England, especially, we're working there because we've got different sort of statutory coverage and so forth. So I'm going to be talking about England. So it's not to the detriment of Wales or Scotland. They have fabulous projects that are also doing this too. So one of the cherishes here as well. And so we're working in Ireland as well. So there's lots of this kind of thing happening. And so it's not just us doing it, but we're talking about this more now. Just to give you an idea of what we're looking at here. It's not just the coast. We've got four shores that fills in more gaps. And then mean high water. So we've got a lot of land we're looking at here. And we've got eight people on staff. So we will not be looking at all of it personally. So we have to look at this archaeology because it's very much on the thread. And because it's being eroded naturally, there's no sort of mechanisms really in place other than emergency funding to get this looked at because it's being taken away sort of by the sea, by wind, by waves, et cetera. So it's washing away without people looking at it. And that's a big problem. And it's that kind of missing gap in our title zone here that we're looking at. And the best way of sort of doing that we thought would be a citizen science approach. So working with the communities, getting them really motivated about it. And they want to care about it. They care about the archaeology. Then they start looking at it themselves. So to give you a good idea of what we're looking at, there are some pretty pictures where I start talking about data. Some are looking at the typical site on the coast, so all vessels, but other sort of not so atypical things. So this is a Atomic Weapons Research Institute in Suffolk. So it's an old bomb sort of target. And lighthouse, of course, so that's another coast of stuff. Sort of timber planks, these are pretty exciting. So this is sort of old land use of sort of intertidal muds, these are possibly bronze age. These that were found by an oisterman that we work with. So not an archaeologist, it's usually dog walkers, that kind of stuff when something, this exposes really rapidly. So we need people who are already in these areas to be knowledgeable about these things so they can flag things up. Crystal footprint fees that get exposed there. They're exposed for a couple of title cycles. We only have a couple hours where these are exposed before they're washed away as well. We need people to understand the recording techniques and have to be quick because they have to be able to be done within a few hours before your feet get wet again. So Citizen is a national network. We're not reinventing the wheel. We don't want to use somebody's toes either because a lot of people are doing fabulous work. So we're working with a lot of partners. Here we're funded by Heritage Lottery Fund, which in England kind of supports a lot of community engagement stuff. So you have to have outcomes for heritage but you absolutely have to have outcomes for people. So they have to get something out of it. So we're based with three project partners. So we all work for MoLA in, based in London, Museum of London Archaeology. But we also are working, so we've got project partners in Council for British Archaeology up in the North to do a lot of fabulous community work and non-prol archaeology society in Portsmouth who have a huge sort of training and experience in maritime archaeology. So they're really fabulous partners to work with. I'll give you an idea. What I said, we have eight people. We better be close-ish to the coast. Otherwise, we won't be able to interact with anybody directly. So we're based, we've kind of set ourselves up some regions, we have little offices based up in the North, so Council for Archaeology. That's Megan and Andy, Andy's here today. If you want to go hang out with him later. And we've got some in the South, so that's Lauren and Alex and we've got Shreys as well. And Lara and Ollie in London. So again, we can kind of mobilize ourselves to work with these communities. So let's get to the good stuff. So we sort of do a set of citizen science. That's a kind of buzzwordy thing recently. But we're trying to follow the sort of, like I suggested, but maybe halfway, the sort of levels of participation. So it's not just engagement, like this would be engagement. Hello everyone, I'm talking to you right now. But it's not just that at you engagement. So there's like level one, getting crowdsourced data. Level two, working with groups. Level three, like collaborative research aims. And level four, like full blown participatory research. Community led, you know, with advice from professionals. So that's the kind of thing we're aiming for. The sort of spectrum of collaborative work. And then we're doing that by raising awareness. Cause if they don't know that footprints are there on this particular beach, no one's gonna see them or record them or keep an eye out for them. And we work in areas like peat shells and so forth. And if you don't tell people that you don't find, you know, you might find lithics in situ, for instance. And you know, you say that to people and like the next day they actually start seeing you. So it's not that they're not there, they just don't know what to look for. And then we do that also by doing the next step and training people how to recognize things, but also how to record things. So that the data comes back and it's not just a picture on your phone, but it's a bit more detailed, a bit more interesting. So it's very preserving by record. We can't really leave it in situ so much because it gets battered by the sea, so we need something else preserving by record. And again, with the collaborative working, we don't just crowd source the data from people and say thank you very much. We encourage active sort of research with them and give them spaces to disseminate their own research. All right, so our now we've engaged 7,000 people and that's a variety of different ways, but conferences, outreach programs, guided walks, things like that. 1,000 people have attended one of our training sessions which is pretty certainly not one. A variety of training sessions. And we have 1,600 registered users of our app which I'll be talking about right now. So we do sort of the traditional community archeology stuff. I say traditional, we're looking at a shipwreck right now, but the kind of offset planning, so forth, getting people used to the environment because we wanted to encourage confidence in working in these environments and safety in working in these environments. But we're gonna be quick about it. So this is our smartphone app. It was developed by the same people who did the Sharp app if anyone is aware of the Scottish Coastal Heritage at Risk Program, so that's the same one. It's the same standardized recording system, so it's just because the statutory stuff stops at the border, doesn't mean that the archeology stops at the border. So we got to work together. And I'll give you a quick whizzy one. So we've got an interactive website that does the same thing so people aren't, you know, don't like the tablets, don't like, you know, using a phone. You can use your computer and it looks like this. So you can zoom in on the site, then it shows you some dots. You can click a little dot and it tells you about the site. And you can edit the information if it's incorrect or then if they are zooming in it like as a gazetteer and you don't see the thing you're looking at, then you can add any feature. So there's a few things, you know, putting a nice description in. We provide a lot of guidance for people so, you know, it's less scary and they provide the right kinds of descriptions. But it's, again, sort of freeform is whatever they've noticed. Because they're probably gonna be the only person that sees it so we want to get good information. They can take a photo, you guys, you might have noticed a little photo scales along here so it's getting encouraging archaeological photos rather than tourist photos. So it has a scale in it at least or, you know, if you don't have that, put your dog in the photo and then say, my dog is missing. Good thing you have a scale as well. So, you know, that kind of thing, sort of thinking outside of the box, at least you've got something that's archeologically useful. They can take period, it's really base-level stuff because you didn't want to throw in, you know, upper paleolithic or something because, you know, are the average punters gonna know? Oh, is it gonna be this date without some serious scientific dating behind it? So it's really basic-level stuff but then there's a comment box underneath that you can add in more information. So how visible it is, what we were really recording is visibility because that's sort of our proxy for coastal change or something like that. So can you still see it? Is it very visible or is it kind of broken or is it not visible anymore and is it not visible because it's been washed away? Is it supposed to be there, that kind of thing? So you get an idea of what kind of numbers we're looking at. We've only been running since 2015 and we've got a sort of thousand new features coming up. Some of those are just things that were done. They're, you know, sort of part modern things or peers or something like that. Which are already on the list. But so 600 features have been updated like slightly typos, you know, editing that kind of thing or dots being moved slightly. We've got 1500 new survey updates. That's kind of the event data. So the act of like the watching grief of watching this thing, taking the picture. Yes, it's still there. And yeah, that's sort of two and a half thousand new photos. So, and to ease people's minds, we do have a moderation process in place and this all this data goes through the ADS and then out to local authority. So this actually goes straight into, you know, the sort of systems of knowledge activity. So they're really contributing to that thing. And to show you, you know, you don't want to say talking about people. So get some words from folks that we've talked to you about this. And the kind of key things are that it's that value again but not the value that we get from people. It's not exploitation. It's their value from what they get out of us. So it's, they feel that they've involved in something that's actually kind of useful or it's fun. So that's good. I love the aim anyway. Again, we have analysis and dissemination. So it's not just citizen data collection. It's citizen science. So at the end of the scientific methodology you've got to tell somebody about what you've been doing. So have a conference every year that is kind of the papers from academics, professional archaeologists, coastal morphology specialists, whatever, but also our volunteers to get a chance to sum up their work. And please, so that's our volunteer from Isham talking about work at the local church doing a built heritage assessment under his own undertaking. We also have a blog. I mean, everyone's got a blog, it seems like, but you know, it's really good because you get to talk about it. And it's not just one person's view of what's happening. So we've got lots of volunteer supplied blogs and they take their own images and that kind of thing. They have to send it to us to put on, but that's easy enough. So I'll talk about digital toolkit again. It's all sort of rapid recording techniques. So we do 3D modeling and photogrammetry because that's quite, it's much more financially viable for local community projects. But we use it not just as a recording tool of course that's really useful and you can measure through structure, through motion that kind of thing. But we use it as a sort of way of doing a remote guided walk. So it's raising awareness of the sites because they are dangerous to get to sometimes or a national project. And this is doing any statistics. It's a World War One U-Vote. It doesn't look like that, I promise, but it's the front of the boat here. That's a little torpedo tube. But you would know that looking at it looks like big rusty chunk of metal, but we have little annotated dots on it. So if you click one of those dots, it tells you what you're looking at. So it's stuff like that. It's kind of, we have really interesting stories to tell, like all the people in this room. And people won't hear me because it's a story about people. So they really will care about it. And yeah, that's the easy job. We just have to know how to tell people in an interesting way. And we also use 3D photogrammetry to compare change over time. And we use these for photos that people supply themselves. So we have guidance on our website on how to take photogrammetry. You can take the pictures for this model for about 10 minutes to take. And then as you drop boxing to us, we have the processing power to do it and then we can make a model. And we provide guidance on the use of research questions we have. So it's not just wasted effort. But this is actually quite interesting, I promise. It's just bricks. It's brick kiln that is now in the entitled zone. It didn't used to be, of course, because that'd be silly. But it's being battered. Got a ground sea island every day, twice a day. This was it, so that's 2015. You can see it's a pretty terrible shape, but it's still mostly articulated. This is the next year. So things change really quickly in this really dynamic environment. And so tools like this where drawing every single brick would be an absolute nightmare in two hours. Not two to four. And that would be a risk that would be absolutely untenable. So this is the kind of tools that are really, really useful for the dynamic environment we're in, but also that people find it really cool. I made that model. I took those pictures. So people really like that stuff and we like it too. So I think it's kind of keeping in mind motivations, I guess, is the final statement of mine. And I think that's my last slide. So if you have any questions, I'll move around. I'm pretty loud, as you can hear, so you'll probably find me. We're almost standing. But yeah, we should have an email on our little card.
