The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.<br>The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.<br>The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 a...

The CITiZAN project has been created in an effort to try and respond to these threats. Working in the area of the foreshore exposed between high tide and low tide and 200m in land from the high tide line, we are looking to recruit, train and support members of the public in discovering, recording and actively monitoring the erosion of some of the most vulnerable archaeology in England.

Steep Holm, further out in the Bristol Channel, is administratively part of England. In early 2010 the Cardiff Harbour Authority submitted a planning application to replace a septic tank to prevent discharge of raw sewerage into the Severn, and a watching-brief was required.

This structure was tentatively identified as a roundwood trackway, but was besanded before more detailed recording could be achieved.
Under the auspices of the Arfodir project a scheme of volunteer monitoring was undertaken and the structure re-emerged in 2012. Two samples were recovered from the trackway for radiocarbon dating. The first sample dated to Cal 1120 to 930BC (Cal BP 3070 to 2880) with a 2 Sigma Calibration (Beta: 318152) and the second dated to Cal 1210 to 1000BC (Cal BP 3160 to 2950) with a 2 Sigma Calibration (Beta: 318151).

This increase in winter storms is leading to more archaeological features being uncovered on the coast and greater damage to already known features. This paper will look at the process and practicalities of building digital 3D models on the foreshore to rapidly these features. Using several wrecks identified on the Cumbrian foreshore this winter as an example.

The aim of the project is to teach members of the public the archaeological skills necessary to identify and record archaeological sites at threat of erosion from raising sea levels and the actions of wind, wave and tidal scour around the coast of England.
