1/15 Good morning everyone. 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. 2/15 Construction began in 1968, using waste from Chislet Colliery 10 miles away to build up the ground: “a fleet of 100 lorries is carrying away over ¼ million tons of black shale – disposing of an unsightly tip and improving the local amenities” bit.ly/3ae1LSd #PATC5

1/12 Twitter version of my paper for #PMAC2019 Archaeologies of Now (sorry it's late). An Instagram project that grew into an exploration of the ubiquitous but non-standard walking man (industry term). Used world wide but freehand ones seem peculiar to the UK. Selection of pedestrian people from Aberdeen to Taunton Deane 2/12 1974 US study of cycle & pedestrian provision in Europe: only Carnaby St pedestrianised in London; Glasgow, Leeds and Birmingham little better. Unlike all other countries, UK has no red/green person symbol at crossings though rolling it out within next 10 years #PMAC2019
