"Naughty Nuns" and "digging in your own backyard" were among a host of local archaeology topics we "unearthed" in our first Virtual Heritage Conversation of the year. David Griffiths, Professor of Archaeology introduced us to the successful project Archaeox: East Oxford Archaeology – Urban Landscape Research & Community Heritage. Not only did the project promote a non-hierarchical collaboration between researchers and members of the public, it also provided a fresh understanding of East Oxford, invigorated other local projects such as archaeological excavations in Littlemore and above all sounded like great fun. Anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating topic can download an Open Access monograph here:
