---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Peter Holmes <peterdholmes@xtra.co.nz>Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2023 at 9:29 AM Subject: Archaeologists reveal life stories of hundreds of people from medieval Cambridge To: NZAA eNews Editor < glaw@lawas.co.nz> Archaeologists at Cambridge University have reconstructed the "biographies" of hundreds of the city's ordinary medieval residents by examining their skeletons in detail, using a wealth of scientific data to fill out the life stories of poor or disadvantaged people whose names were never recorded.

Our data entry team started a couple of months ago and, now that they're properly settled into their roles, we thought we'd take the chance to introduce you to this fantastic group of people. They spent the first couple of weeks reorganising and renaming the files and folders, to make all the data much easier to find. Now they've moved onto data entry. This is a major milestone in our project: it means that we have all the data fields for the database sorted out (thanks to Jessie's incredible work!) and the links between the data tables identified. It's really exciting to get to this point and begin to see the full potential of the database. This also means that we're now beginning to think in more detail about the look and feel of the website - the image above shows some of the working drawings for this. I've included links to some recent blog posts below, too, in case you missed them. One that I'm particularly delighted to share with you is a guest post, written by Jane Leighs. Jane is a Christchurch woman, currently based in London and studying for a Masters in Public Archaeology at University College in London. This blog post was the result of a 500-word public-facing essay Jane had to write for one of her assignments. There are also posts about old houses and fascinating ink bottles we've found. Mā te wā! |  | Madison Hickford I grew up in Christchurch, then headed down to Otago for study and found my place in archaeology. I'd probably say I'm most familiar with historic archaeology here in New Zealand, with my current Master's research looking into 19th century glass plate negatives! In my spare time, I love researching my family tree, playing hockey, bird watching with my partner or going for a wander around the city. Although I hadn't really experienced the city before the quakes, I've developed a fascination with how they have shaped the Christchurch I get to experience as an adult, who is also a fan of all things historical! | | | Ebony Pike I grew up in a beach town on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia, and moved to Christchurch earlier this year. I have a Masters in Archaeological and Evolutionary Science, focusing on forensic archaeology, and have worked for the past two years as a consultant archaeologist in Melbourne. One of my favourite aspects of working in this industry is seeing what everyday people have left behind, and how some of those trends have changed over time. When not working, you can normally find me rock climbing, snorkelling, or chasing waterfalls with my dog where possible! | |  | |  | Sayali Sangamnerkar I moved to in New Zealand from India when I was a teenager, and consider myself an Indian and a kiwi. My academic background is mainly in forensic science, with its application to archaeology/anthropology and chemistry. The air of mystery and adventure that comes along with these two specialities is also something I look for in my personal life. I love travelling and have managed to explore some incredible places such as Palau through my work. Recently, I have taken up travel sketching which has helped me connect with the places and people I interact with. I'm also an avid reader of all things fiction, and love training in various martial arts including Brazilian jiu-jitsu. | | | Sam Wallis I'm only a recent arrival in Christchurch but have been really enjoying my time here so far. I am born and bred in Dunedin, which is where I also attended the University of Otago, studying archaeology and classical studies. I have always been fascinated by the human past which is a big passion outside of my work as well. I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to many wonderful places visiting museums, galleries, and cultural sites both in Aotearoa and abroad. Beyond that I'm big into my sports (sorry, Canterbury, but Highlanders forever) and spend a lot of time in the outdoors enjoying everything this beautiful country has to offer. | |  | | |  | | Thu, Nov 16 Five years ago, rescue archaeologists uncovered a small ceramic jar where Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre now stands. This jar serves as a portal to nineteenth century Christchurch. Nineteenth | | | | Fri, Nov 03 Gosh, well, I'm so glad you asked, because I have just the thing for you! A typology, even – archaeologists do love a good typology, but I suspect it's the sort of word that might make most people's | |  | |  | | Fri, Oct 06 This past week (let's be honest, this year) has been a bit chaotic, work-wise, so it's another blog post of artefact photos from me. Hopefully, in the next post I write, I'll be able to give a bit | | | | | | |
