Kris Lockyear continues his community archaeology geophysics project across Hertfordshire, with recent forays into Oxfordshire and Sussex, with surveying taking place at various sites.
Kris' research, and his involvement with a thriving network of archaeological societies, has been mentioned in the latest issue of Current Archaeology in the article by Joe Flatman (formerly of the Institute) examining the magazine's reporting of fieldwork in Hertfordshire.
Meanwhile Kris' blog now has 210 posts with over 100,000 words and 1,280 images reporting on surveys of approximately 40 sites. The site has had over 64,000 views from over 25,000 unique IP addresses.
The Verulamium survey started in 2013 as part of a one-year AHRC Community Heritage Development award to Kris for the project Sensing the late Iron Age and Roman Past: geophysics and the landscape of Hertfordshire. Since then, surveys have been ongoing, supported by the loan of equipment from the Institute of Archaeology including new ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment. The Community Archaeology Geophysics Group, led by Kris, continues to survey approximately sites around Hertfordshire and nearby counties - in all weathers!
