Tell el-Amarna, Autumn 2024 to Spring 2025
Fieldwork at Amarna from autumn 2024 to spring 2025 involved excavation and survey in Amarna’s housing areas, including the house of the vizier Nakht, and the continuation of several post-excavation projects. The post-excavation work reported on here is the study of human skeletal materials, pottery, and matting from the non-elite cemeteries; relief fragments from the Maru-Aten; zooarchaeological samples from the house of Panehesy; and lithics an…
Tell el-Amarna, Autumn 2023 to Summer 2024
Fieldwork at Amarna from autumn 2023 to summer 2024 included excavations at the Great Aten Temple, the launch of a new survey and site management project focused on Amarna’s housing areas, and the continuation of several post-excavation projects. The post-excavation work reported on here is the study of faience inlays from the Great Aten Temple, and skeletal materials and hair from the non-elite cemeteries. Ongoing community outreach associated w…
Tell el-Amarna, 2022
Fieldwork at Amarna in 2022 included excavation at the Great Aten Temple and the North Desert Cemetery, and the continuation of several post-excavation projects. Those post-excavation projects reported on here are the study of skeletal materials, pottery, plant and organic remains, and inscriptions from the North Desert Cemetery; pottery, plant and other organic remains from the North Cliffs Cemetery; and digital modelling of the North Desert Cem…
Evaluating Participatory Practice In archaeology: Proposal for a standardized approach
In this paper we present a proposal for the creation of a standardized evaluation model for participatory/public/community archaeology and heritage initiatives. The proposal is the result of discussions during a Spring School that the University of Padua and the MAG Museum of Alto Garda, Italy, organized between 9 and 15 April 2018. The Spring School brought together international practitioners to compare experiences and share visions for the sus…
Tell el-Amarna, Autumn 2018 to Autumn 2019
Fieldwork at Amarna from autumn 2018 through autumn 2019 included excavation at a previously uninvestigated cemetery, the North Desert Cemetery, located approximately 600 metres south-west of the North Tombs. Several post excavation projects also continued. Those reported on here comprise the study of skeletal materials from the North Cliffs Cemetery, hair and textiles from the North Cliffs and North Desert Cemeteries, and pottery from the North …
Understanding Perceptions of Cultural Landscapes in Europe: A Comparative Analysis Using ‘Oppida’ Landscapes
Climatic, social and demographic change is putting increasing pressure on Europe’s cultural landscapes. The European Landscape Convention (ELC) recognises these threats and the need to integrate a wider range of stakeholders in the active management of landscapes in order to negotiate the trade-offs needed for future sustainability. This study explores the complexity of the ELC’s aims by analysing stakeholder perceptions and values connected to f…
Dialogues in the making: Collaborative archaeology in Sudan
In this paper we introduce the Mograt Island Collaborative Project. Launched in 2014, this project aims to share archaeological narratives with members of a local community in Sudan, and with other stakeholders engaged with the area's past, building on a collaborative process which investigates how archaeological outputs can be explored together in a meaningful way. We discuss the wider context in which the project takes place, its individual ste…
Tell el-Amarna, Autumn 2017 and Spring 2018
Fieldwork at Amarna in autumn 2017 and spring 2018 included excavation at a previously uninvestigated pit-grave cemetery, the North Cliffs Cemetery, on the low desert near the North Tombs. Initial results suggest the burials here are closer in character to those at the South Tombs Cemetery (excavated 2006–13) than at the North Tombs Cemetery (excavated 2015, 2017). Several post-excavation projects continued on materials from the North and South T…
Connecting landscapes: Examining and enhancing the relationship between stakeholder values and cultural landscape management in England
In England’s post-Brexit environment, as the nation’s approach to cultural landscapes is reassessed, understanding what stakeholders value and how they currently engage with landscape management is likely to be increasingly important. This study explores this at a localised scale. Examining the value of an ecosystems services perspective, it focuses on two case-study landscapes in Gloucestershire. Using interviews, focus groups, mapping tasks and…
Participatory Augering: A Methodology for Challenging Perceptions of Archaeology and Landscape Change
Public engagement is a significant feature of twenty-first-century archaeological practice. While more diverse audiences are connecting with the discipline in a multitude of ways, public perceptions of archaeology are still marred by stereotypes. Community excavations of ‘sites’ to discover ‘treasures’ which tell us about the ‘past’ overshadow other forms of public research output and hinder the potential of the discipline to contribute to contem…
One Landscape, Many Tenants: Uncovering Multiple Claims, Visions and Meanings on the Theban Necropolis
Community archaeology: General methods and standards of practice
Community archaeology seeks to diversify the voices involved in the interpretation of the past. This sub-discipline, one of the fastest growing areas of the field, facilitates mutual education between archaeologists and communities. Wider recognition for the field is, however, hindered by the fact that it lacks a clear methodological structure. In this analysis the various forms in which community archaeology is practised are addressed through si…
