2024 brings two new publications for the project.
Firstly, a short piece in The Conversation:’ How second world war bomb rubble was used to make 135 football pitches in east London’
This is based on the research I have conducted into bomb ruble on Hackney and Leyton Marshes. This was fun to write and was skillfully edited into an engaging piece by Dale Berning Sawa.
Secondly, I was asked to contribute a piece to a Papers from the Institute of Archaeology special issue on the impact of the pandemic on research in archaeology. The piece I submitted is a photo essay on ‘Brick Holidays‘ and my research with Royston Beach in Granton, Edinburgh. entitled: ‘Rubble Archaeology on the North Edinburgh Shoreline: Creative Research in the Time of COVID-19’
This can be read here (open access).
