The launch of MicroPasts
by UCL and the British Museum seems like a great plan to connect some of the
areas of archaeology which traditionally avoid eachother. Based on the successful South African model
of crowdcrafting we should see many important and successful collaborations
taking off across the archaeological sector.
From the article:
With only limited funds
and time, professional archaeologists consistently struggle to protect and
interpret the UK's vast array of archaeological finds and resources. Yet there
are huge pools of amateur groups and volunteers who are not only passionate but
also skilled and knowledgeable about archaeology in the UK.
Now a new web platform
called MicroPasts has been produced in a collaboration between University
College London (UCL) and the British Museum to connect institutions and
volunteers so that they can create, fund and work on archaeological projects
together.
