My old tweets are porting over (sorry for the flood) but here’s a thread for a lockdown conference that I keep thinking about…

1/20 Hi! I’m Katy, a p/t PhD student with @SWWDTP @UniRdg_Arch. I’m taking this opportunity to reflect on my extended experience and the amazing people I’ve been working with, who have introduced me to different ways of thinking and doing archaeology. #HiddenLandscapes

A model of a T-Rex made entirely from recycled toilet roll tubes. Pictures show a simple head, made from one tube, and a complete 3D sculpture, something a little more complex, and made from many tubes.

First time round I read that as Shrine.

Dr Katy Whitaker (she/her) @artefactual.bsky.social · 12h

Ok!

Dr Katy Whitaker (she/her) @artefactual.bsky.social · 13h

The interlace is actually really simple, making it so so clever!

Free software that came on the phone?! Mine doesn’t seem to have that and I am paying a subscription for an app that will process my lidar captures. What are you using?

Spot the square barrows!

I will pay attention over the weekend! Currently dealing with this:

Colour photo of part of a laptop screen and part of a computer monitor. A skewed black and white air photo is on the laptop screen, a bit of the same photo is on the monitor. This is part of the process to map archaeological features from a rectified and georeferenced oblique air photo.

Ok hold that thought. I’ve been forwarded an email from @girlinthe.bsky.social

Dr Katy Whitaker (she/her) @artefactual.bsky.social · 23h

I have two emails from Ticket Tailor dated 6 September confirming my sign-up. Problems emailing me usually arise from mid-spelling my surname in the bit before the @. If the gmail address in the Reply-to is you, I can send an email and you’ll get the correct address.
