I've decided to open a Redbubble shop to sell some of my Illustrations, including some archaeology designs. It's very small at the moment but I am hoping to add new works over time.

Amazing reconstruction, made even better by the accompanying behind the scenes video which shows the enthusiasm of the school pupils involved in its creation.

We are excited to announce the launch of Fen to Fire, a living reconstruction of the Late Bronze Age Must Farm pile-dwelling settlement that we’ve worked to create with digital artist Guy Schofield and pupils from Cromwell Community College in Chatteris.

Using 3D modelling and motion capture Fen to Fire imagines what life might have been like 3,000 years ago at this amazing site. Located at Everyspace, March Library between 18th April to 15th May, entry is free and the installation is open during normal library opening hours.

Visitors can experience the full installation, comprising the main digital artwork alongside interpretation and behind-the-scenes films offering a window into both the Bronze Age world and the creative process behind the work. The artwork shows the Must Farm settlement over its lifespan, from construction to destruction. However, every life cycle of the site will be different with activities, people, weather and viewpoints all changing.

Fen to Fire is part of Collusion's SHAPE Hub programme, a partnership with the University of Cambridge supporting collaboration between artists and academics to increase public impact and opportunities for innovation. With thanks to funding from Cambridge Archaeology, Cambridge Collections Connections Communities (CCC), McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research.

I was commissioned to create a simple colouring sheet to accompany activities carried out by Cambridge Archaeology and Cambridge Archaeological Unit at the family weekend of the Cambridge Festival. It was a very successful event and the colouring sheets were very popular with all printed copies being used. Photograph: Chad Cox/Cambridge Festival

This photograph of the section from a slot through the archaeology of a Middle Bronze Age enclosure from Needingworth Quarry shows the fascinating sequence that has built up over its lifetime. A sharp 6H pencil was required for its drawing!

It’s always satisfying to work with good stratigraphy as this section of deposits, representing a sequence where the landscape is dipping into a hollow, from Needingworth Quarry highlights. The test pit shows the topsoil, evidence of medieval/post-medieval flooding in thick alluvial clays, layers deposited when the area was covered by a late prehistoric lake, a thin band of black organic material that accumulated from rising groundwater levels and portion of preserved buried soils from the prehistoric land surface. Understanding this profile provides vital information that helps to unpick the story of a site and landscape.

This cask cant, a part of a multi-board cask head, was discovered at Needingworth Quarry, Cambridgeshire and featured incised merchant’s marks and a burnt/branded probable cooper’s mark. The cant was made from a slow grown local oak that was felled after AD 1606. Brice Aggregates
