Old meets news at Digital Shoreditch 2013

For the first time, MOLA is heading to Digital Shoreditch festival. Director of Technology Solutions, Peter Rauxloh, will give a short talk to pose the question ‘how can we realise the power of place’ on the 20th of May.

He will encourage the e-innovators of Tech City to consider how they would transform our abundant archaeological content to engage Londoners in new and exciting ways.

Volunteers uncover treasures as they work on archive material

In 1992 one of the largest urban digs in the capital revealed the site of the ancient Roman amphitheatre. Some 2340 boxes and tens of thousands of bags of small finds were filled during the excavation. These are now stored at the London Archaeological Archive and Research Centre (LAARC), across 157 shelves and over 4 bays.

Thanks to a team of eager and tenacious volunteers, the vast quantity of archaeological material is currently being made ready for final deposition into the LAARC.
