1/20 Hi, I'm a researcher at the University of Winchester (UK) and today I'm talking about some ongoing research of mine in reconsidering burial positions in the later prehistoric archaeological record in south-east England. Please note: includes images of human remains💀#PATC5
2/ My PhD aimed to characterise burial practice in early Neolithic (c.4000-3300 BC) S-E England, specifically demographic patterns for burial locations, positions, orientations & grave goods. This included a detailed examination of recorded positions of articulated burials #PATC5
3/ This has also turned up burials from non-monumental locations previously dated by now outmoded methods. Further research, inc radiocarbon dating, has looked at a number of these dating to the Bronze & Iron Ages (Cansfield et al, 2017; Cansfield & Thorpe, forthcoming) #PATC5

Using Social Media to Share a Bicentennial Exhibit When Social Distancing Isn’t Enough

#PATC5 /1
All campuses of @IndianaUniv, including @IUSouthBend, planned to celebrate 200 years of impact in the state and worldwide. Events included packing the @SBCubs stadium with alumni (@IUAA), a bus with @IUArtifacts sent on the road, & talks at the museum and elsewhere. #PATC5 /2
I got @IUBicentennial $ to hold a campus dig in 2018, training students in research design, excavation techniques. The public astopped by to talk to the students & share stories. This was pre-COVID 19 - we were very close to each other & everything was “high touch.”

1) Today I’ll be looking at the @CITiZAN1 project’s Low Tide Trails (LTTs) and how these have been adapted for digital engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic. I’m the North Team’s CITiZAN Community Archaeologist and one of my roles is to develop LTTs for the project. #PATC5 Chris and Discovery Programme Officer Sam walking along the dunes at Formby
2) @CITiZAN1 is the Coastal and Intertidal Zone Archaeological Network. We highlight the threat of coastal erosion to archaeological sites on the foreshore and help members of the public engage with and record archaeological sites that are at risk. citizan.org.uk #PATC5 CITiZAN South-East returning from a day of recording with a setting sun in the backgroundChris and volunteer John recording the remains of a First World War pillbox on the coastDiscovery Programme Officer Andy laying back to record a prehistoric floor surface
3) What are #LowTideTrails? These are guided and self-guided walks that focus on archaeological sites in the coastal and intertidal zone. The walks tie in with the launch of the England Coast Path, offering an opportunity to engage with local history and archaeology #PATC5 Chris leading  Low Tide Trail in Hull

1/20 Hello everyone I'm Andy @arjhutcheson @sisjac, today I will be giving a paper called Public archaeology, digital presentation and global perspectives: a shop window for accessing and valuing the heritage of East Anglia. This is building on: global-britisharchaeology.org #PATC5
2/20 Global Perspectives on British Archaeology, funded by @AHRC, presents research into East Anglia’s heritage in a broad international context, encouraging us to think about the region’s place in the wider world #PATC5
3/20 The project looked at 6 places, Happisburgh, Grimes Graves, Must Farm, Caistor St Edmunds, Sutton Hoo and Medieval Norwich ranging in date from 800,000BP to 16TH century CE and explored how to unlock the global significance of the region’s rich heritage #PATC5

Morning everyone! I’m Katy and I’m going to tweet about #archaeology, #geology and #landscape. But mostly, about #sarsen stone in the county of Wiltshire, UK. Thank you to @lornarichardson and @James__Dixon for organising #PATC5 and for accepting this paper 0/16 The abstract for this Twitter paper: This paper takes one of my recent #DailySarsen tweets and tells a story of the sarsen stone depicted in that previously-tweeted photo. Much of my public archaeology happens out-of-doors. The frightening reality of a serious communicable disease that has no vaccine means it will be some time before I can once more welcome people into Sarsen Country. My small efforts to recover a sense of Sarsen Country digitally, with #DailySarsen, have been welcomed by friends old and new. So here is an elaboration of one of the tweets; I hope people will enjoy the tale.
During CV-19 lockdown and as long as distancing measures apply, my public archaeology landscape walks in #SarsenCountry are suspended. Groups trips for local/regional societies to visit places in Wiltshire (UK) where sarsen stones can be seen are off-limits #PATC5 #DailySarsen 1/ The title of my paper for the Public Archaeology Twitter Conference is ‘#DailySarsen, or, Walking hand-in-hand with human and non-human friends’. Katy Whitaker, University of Reading/Historic England @artefactual_KW
Sarsens are the large grey boulders making the familiar shapes of Stonehenge, and Avebury’s great circles. They’re in medieval church walls. They pave our streets and protect grass verges. Sites in southern England from Dorset to Norfolk make #SarsenCountry #PATC5 #DailySarsen 2/ A photograph of Stonehenge showing some of the tall upright grey sarsen stones capped by horizontal sarsen lintels.

I’m excited to be presenting the first paper at #PATC5 - on @CITiZAN1 #EastKentCoast #DiscoveryProgramme work at Pegwell Bay Hoverport, Kent, including collaboration with @EastKentMencap there A slide with the title Hovering on the edge: natural heritage, cultural heritage and public archaeology at Pegwell Bay Hoverport. This is next to a map showing where the Hoverport is.
