Engaging the Community with Digital Archaeology at the Old Church of St. Nich...RCAHMW
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the Churches Conservation Trust to undertake a community project at the Old Church of St. Nicholas, Uphill during Heritage Open Days. Whilst the CCT were interested in the results of the archaeological work, the primary aim of the project was to use the work to enthuse the community about this seldom open heritage asset. It was hoped that as a result volunteers would be found to help keep the church regularly open to visitors.
The project made use of a combination of laser scanning, metric survey, excavation, RTI and geophysics to investigate the church and graveyard. This integrated approach to site investigation helped draw large numbers of visitors to the site and allowed them to learn about the practice of modern archaeology.
With engaging the community a priority people were encouraged to help conduct the archaeological work where possible. Volunteers were trained in archaeological survey and excavation techniques and given explanations of how the equipment they were using worked.
The project was carried out in such a way that provisional results could be viewed on site to maximise engagement. Raw scans were shown on the instrument as the laser scanning progressed, the graveyard was surveyed straight to CAD on a tablet PC, and Reflectance Transformation Imaging was processed on site. This allowed volunteers to see the product of their work straight away. A selection of the project work was exhibited on the final open day including the processed laser scan survey of the exterior of the church.
This project brought new knowledge about the Old Church of St. Nicholas to the community and allowed individuals from that community to share their knowledge with others. The multi-disciplinary approach to this project drew large numbers of people to the church and many were excited by the potential of the digital practices of modern archaeology, however traditional approaches still hold a great appeal.
This paper will discuss the successes and challenges of the project, the benefits that the use of technology brought to it, and some of the findings of the work carried out.

The structural stability of different languages subject to the import of external elements is analyzed. The rate of import and dissipation of new elements is seen in relation to the rate at which a language absorbs new elements into their structure. The analysis leads to a model formally similar to the standard model used to analyze the extraction of renewable resources. This model is applied to different sociolinguistic situations and we speculate over how the structural type of a language determines its rate of adaption of the external innovations. Conditions that might lead to attrition and decay of the linguistic system, are characterized and some policy implications are drawn.
