Kia ora! It's been a little while since we posted in here, as we've been busy getting ready to launch the Christchurch Archaeology Project. This is a not-for-profit that we're both involved in, along with a third colleague, and we've set it up to preserve, promote and share Ōtautahi Christchurch's rich archaeological archive. You can find out more about it via our website (link in bio) - and we have a dedicated Instagram page: @christchurcharchaeologyproject
Today I'm starting teaching a summer school paper at the University of Canterbury. It's both slightly terrifying and exciting. Slightly terrifying because I've never lectured before. Exciting because the paper is largely based on archaeological work carried out in Ōtautahi Christchurch since the earthquakes and it's awesome to be sharing what we've learnt and to be putting all that work to good use! -K
I've reached the bottle stage of my hotel assemblage - which, to be honest, is not the most interesting - it's basically 100s of fragments of black beer bottles. But then there was this little gem to brighten up my afternoon! -K
