Tuesday, 9 September 2014. Noltland to Newcastle: Visualising travel and arrival at Links of Noltland and the Further North conference. Links of Noltland is an archaeological site that is defined by its remote island location as much as by the intriguing material culture and stories that are emerging from the excavations. Following on from my previous post. During fieldwork in 2014 our focus was on incorporating other visual elements from beyond the site boundaries. A slightly "bumpy" crossing on the Ham...

Thursday, 9 October 2014. Kite Aerial Photography on the Isle of Skye. During a weekend away on Skye I managed to fit some kite flying around the temperamental hebridean weather. Relatively remote and undeveloped, the island offers some fantastic built heritage from prehistoric to modern. We also visited a onc of the clearance villages of particular research interest to my PhD colleague Kiera Shackleton, who arranged the trip. Low angled sunlight revealed the traces of rig and furrow field systems ar...

Topofly: Kite aerial photography of the excavations at Links of Noltland on Westray, Orkney
http://topofly.blogspot.com/2014/09/kite-aerial-photography-of-excavations.html
Monday, 8 September 2014. Kite aerial photography of the excavations at Links of Noltland on Westray, Orkney. I used kite aerial photography to gather images for structure-from-motion photogrammetry in order to generate high resolution three-dimensional meshes of the site at different stages. Orthophotos are one of the outcomes of this process - high resolution plan views such as this Gigapan. Where you can zoom in and navigate around details in a way similar to google earth. It has also been great to be...

Monday, 20 October 2014. White Caterthun hillfort: Work in progress on a speculative reconstruction for my research film "The Caterthuns". I've been sketching up some ideas of how to show a speculative reconstruction of the lost structures at White Caterthun hillfort. Here is a work in progress, where I have roughed in a series of palisaded enclosures and the large timber-laced wall. I've left the surrounding landscape as it looks in the current day. A kite aerial photograph of the current day monument.

Monday, 23 December 2013. TAG-On-Sea: Bournemouth hosts the 2013 conference of the Theoretical Archaeology Group. Last week I attended the 35th annual TAG conference, held over three days in Bournemouth University. I was presenting a research poster (below) which introduces my PhD research and outlines my ongoing practice-based enquiry. My Poster for TAG-On-Sea 2013 ( click for pdf. The poster survived the 500 mile journey to Bournemouth! UCL, where the problematic area of audience research was discussed.

Wednesday, 14 May 2014. Musket Fire and Ruins at Tantallon Castle. Historic Scotland recently hosted an event at Tantallon Castle that combined the current archaeological excavation work with a re-enactment of the siege by Oliver Cromwell's men in 1651. I was asked to come along to document the event with kite aerial photography and despite overcast and rather blustery weather was able to get these shots of the re-enactment in action. A tour of one of the trenches where excavations were underway. Your br...
