Archival research training
This document provides information about conducting archival research, including an introduction to archives and the types of materials found within them. It discusses planning research projects in archives, searching for and analyzing sources, and preparing for a visit to an archive. The document also provides a brief history of Polish immigration to London between the 16th-19th centuries, highlighting several waves of migration during and after various wars and political events in Poland.
Malaysian Studies: History and Politics (Part 1)
This document provides an overview of Malaysian history from the 15th century establishment of Melaka to the end of Japanese occupation in 1945. It discusses the rise of Melaka due to favorable geography, natural resources, and trade. It then outlines the colonial periods of Portuguese, Dutch, and British rule and some key events of each. The effects of the 1824 British-Dutch treaty signing and Japanese occupation from 1941-1945 are also examined.
Parliament visit2
The Parliament of Victoria document discusses:
- The history of constructing Parliament House from 1851-1855, including deciding on the site and architects.
- Architect Peter Kerr adapted the original design over 40 years, producing over 600 sketches and transforming the building in distinct stages.
- The library wing was added in 1858-1860, connecting the two legislative chambers and impressing visitors with its design.
- Though open to the public, the Parliament focuses on serving its members, with restricted areas and screening to ensure their safety, and a library designed to meet their research needs through specialized staff and an intranet.
Digitalisation at Royal Pavilion & Museums
Royal Pavilion & Museums has over 500,000 visitors annually across five sites. It digitizes its collections and sites to make them accessible online through its website, open assets portal, 3D models, Story Drop app, blogs, and virtual tours. The document discusses best practices for developing digital ideas and content, including starting with the "stuff" like objects and stories rather than the technology, defining the target audience, choosing appropriate digital platforms, and creating content that audiences can find and use easily.
Irina Malinina: CLIL: teaching History through English to teenagers.
CLIL (Content and language Integrated Learning) can be a highly motivating, cognitively engaging, and rewarding approach both for students and for teachers of English. This is a different way of learning, where English and various subjects are intertwined, thus making English a medium for instruction. CLIL methodology develops higher-order skills by involving learners in activities in which they have to apply these skills (such as creative thinking, critical evaluation, or hypothesizing).
During this presentation I will share my experience and my findings about teaching History through English to a group of teenagers (13-14 years old). I will speak about selecting and developing materials for CLIL curriculum and using project work in the classroom.
I will briefly explain how to use digital media in the physical environment of the classroom, i.e. integrating augmented reality (AR) technology to create "talking posters".
Hopefully, this practical guidance on how to make CLIL a reality will serve as a springboard to enable you to design your own CLIL lessons and expand repertoire of classroom techniques

Written sources such as letters, inscriptions, and business documents provide evidence about aspects of life in Pompeii and Herculaneum, though some gaps remain. Archaeological sources like buildings, monuments, artifacts, and human remains also provide insight. However, the sources are limited as many only explain certain industries and personal lives are less documented. Additionally, destruction from the eruption and over time has depleted sources. The reliability of different written sources must also be carefully evaluated based on their context, author's intent, and corroboration.

Cultural heritage: Tradition, Museums and Wikis
The document discusses knowledge management in museums and their use of wikis. It describes how museums collect objects and documentation, create knowledge, and present information to the public. Wikis also collect data and document discussions to generate articles and build categories. Museums and wikis both involve collaborative communities that research, document, and publish information. The document examines how scholars can be involved in these collaborative activities and how museum documentation and research can benefit wiki communities.
Oxford Digital Cultural Heritage - China
This document discusses challenges in sharing cultural heritage data online and potential solutions. It notes that raw data is difficult for most users to understand and use without additional context and expertise. Effective data sharing requires representing objects and their relationships within meaningful contexts like events, actors, places and time periods. It outlines how the ResearchSpace project at the British Museum aims to address these issues by working with subject experts to enrich data with historical, social and semantic contexts so it can better support research, education and public engagement.
Migrations and settlement
This document summarizes Polynesian migrations and settlement patterns from approximately 1600 BC to 1000 AD. It notes that the Lapita culture spread from Papua New Guinea to islands in Melanesia and Polynesia between 1600-1200 BC. Subsequent migrations saw settlers voyage from Samoa and Tonga to discover and inhabit more eastern islands from 300 BC. Islands like Easter Island, Hawaii, and New Zealand saw voyagers arrive and establish settlements between 300 AD to 1000 AD, originating from central and eastern Polynesia. Theories of migration are tested through archaeological evidence, linguistics, and oral traditions including genealogies passed down.
Pre-Modern European Migrations the Celts Part 3 - By Dr. Lizabeth Johnson
Much of the history of pre-modern European society was shaped by the migration of various groups of peoples into and across the European landscape. The Celts moved from their homeland in Central Europe and settled throughout much of Western Europe, bringing their language and culture with them. The Romans were yet another migrant group, and undoubtedly one of the most culturally impactful groups because they enforced their political, legal, and religious customs in the territories they settled. Similarly, the German-speaking tribes who moved into Roman territory as the Roman Empire fell; the Vikings, who emerged from Scandinavia in the late 8th century CE and settled throughout much of Western Europe; and Muslim peoples, who emerged from the Arabian Peninsula in the mid-7th century CE and settled in Spain and Sicily, had a significant influence on the formation of early European culture. We'll examine all of these groups and their impact on the history and culture of Western Europe in the pre-modern period.
HERA - Creativity and Craft Production in Middle and Late Bronze Age Europe (...
HERA - Creativity and Craft Production in Middle and Late Bronze Age Europe (...Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)
The CinBA project studies creativity and craft production in Bronze Age Europe through collaboration between academic and non-academic partners. The project has partners from several European countries who bring expertise in archaeology, heritage, and crafts. It examines motifs, skills, and trends in pottery, textiles, metalworking, and how prehistoric crafts inspire contemporary artists. Knowledge transfer activities include publications, exhibitions, workshops, and engagement with academics, heritage institutions, craftspeople, and the public. Project meetings, research team meetings, and workshops facilitate collaboration and management. The research has had wider impacts than initially predicted.An Archaeology of the East Midlands Class 8. Radcliffe Autumn 2014
This class covered themes in industrial and early modern archaeology in the East Midlands region. It discussed the definition and origins of industrial archaeology, key primary industries like coal mining and lead extraction, and secondary industries such as iron/steel production and textiles. It also addressed themes of transport infrastructure including canals and railways, development of towns linked to industry, and the work of George Sanderson in mapping the industrial revolution.
Archaeology of the East Midlands: Class 3. Radcliffe Autumn 2014
This document discusses an archaeology class on cultural transitions in the East Midlands from the Iron Age to the Dark Ages. The class covers the Late Iron Age landscape and society; the brief Roman occupation and influence; and the debate around whether the early post-Roman period represented a "Dark Age" or continuation of the Iron Age. Key points include the continuity of settlement patterns between these periods, the impact of Roman rule and decline, and the origins and material culture of Anglo-Saxon communities in England. Geophysical survey techniques like lidar, magnetometry, and ground-penetrating radar are also introduced for non-invasive archaeological prospection.
Typologies
The document discusses the evolution of architectural technology and construction shapes throughout history. It begins with ancient shapes like beams and columns used by early civilizations, as well as pyramids constructed by the Egyptians. It then examines the development of arches during the Romanesque period. A case study of the Alhambra palace highlights innovative water supply technologies used. Newer construction shapes introduced during the Industrial Revolution included trusses, cables, and thin concrete shells, as exemplified by notable structures like the Eiffel Tower and Guggenheim Bilbao museum. The future of architecture is predicted to continue innovating with new materials and sustainable designs.
An Archaeology of the East Midlands: Class 1
This document outlines an archaeology course on the East Midlands region. It introduces the instructor and provides an overview of the course, which examines the archaeology and techniques of the region through 9 sessions. The first session defines archaeology and its approaches, discusses the region's environment and geology, and demonstrates geoarchaeological techniques through examples from the Trent Valley, including structures preserved in river deposits.
An Archaeology of the East Midlands. Class 1 Beeston Winter 2015
This document outlines the syllabus for an archaeology course on the East Midlands region. The course will introduce students to what archaeology is, different theoretical approaches, and types of archaeological research. It will also cover the physical landscape and geology of the East Midlands region, particularly related to fluvial geoarchaeology along river valleys like the Trent Valley. The course aims to give students a broad understanding of human activity and culture in the East Midlands through time based on archaeological evidence.
Archaeology of the East Midland Class 4: Radcliffe Autumn 2014
This document summarizes an archaeology class covering the Angles, Saxons, and Vikings in the East Midlands region of England. The class discusses Viking origins and raids beginning in the 8th century AD. It also examines evidence of Scandinavian settlement through place names and artifacts. A key site discussed is Repton, where a Viking army overwintered in 873-874 AD, leaving behind a mass grave and nearby pagan burial ground. Geophysical survey techniques for investigating archaeological sites below the ground surface are also introduced.
An Archaeology of the East Midlands, Class 9. Radcliffe Autumn 2014
This document summarizes an archaeology class on the East Midlands region of England. The class covered how the region's history and cultural heritage have shaped its identity. It discussed defining characteristics of the East Midlands, reviewed key topics taught in the class on the region's prehistory and history, and assessed student learning outcomes. The class aimed to help students understand how archaeology can provide insight into the unique history and culture of the East Midlands.
103.4.pdf
This document provides an overview of prehistoric architecture from the early Stone Age. It discusses how early humans were nomadic and built temporary shelters from available natural materials like branches and animal skins. As examples, it describes rock shelters and cave dwellings, including the Cave of Lascaux known for its elaborate paintings. Settlements consisted of simple structures that could be easily constructed and dismantled as groups moved between hunting grounds. Over time, improvements in technology allowed for more permanent mud constructions and organized interior spaces like those seen in the remains of a 400,000 year old hut from Terra Amata, France. The lecture concludes with an assignment asking students to create a flow chart and sketches illustrating the different phases and shelter types of pre
ME8491 ENGINEERING METALLURGY - UNIT 1
The document discusses the iron-carbon phase diagram and the different phases that appear on it. It defines the common structures seen on the diagram including ferrite, pearlite, austenite, cementite, martensite, and ledeburite. It provides details on their composition, crystal structure, properties, and how they form based on the cooling process. Understanding these structures is fundamental to materials science and engineering as the microstructure of steels and cast irons determines their overall properties and applications.
Architecture and Industrial revolution
The document provides an overview of architectural styles before World War I. It discusses the rise of Eclecticism, where elements of historical styles were combined to create original designs. Specific styles included Gothic Revival, Orientalism, Beaux-Arts, Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco. Beaux-Arts emphasized neoclassical styles and taught through conceptual sketches and presentation drawings. Eclecticism allowed for more creative freedom than nostalgia-driven styles and became popular as architects sought new approaches.
Conservation of historical monuments
This document discusses the conservation of historical monuments in India. It defines conservation as processes that retain a place's cultural significance, including maintenance, preservation, restoration, reconstruction, and adaptation. Conservation has economic, cultural and environmental benefits. Historically, conservation efforts date back to emperors in the 3rd-19th centuries who ordered the protection of ancient buildings. Key conservation acts were passed from the 19th-20th centuries. Proper conservation requires listing heritage sites, assessing threats, and performing appropriate preservation techniques tailored for things like bricks, stones, and wood siding. The case study of Jaisalmer Fort conservation improved infrastructure and restored important structures like Rani Ka Mahal gateway.

This document discusses the Sensing the Iron Age and Roman Past in Hertfordshire Project, which aimed to train community archaeologists in geophysical surveying techniques like magnetometry. The project partnered with various archaeological societies to survey several Iron Age and Roman sites in Hertfordshire, including Verulamium. Some key successes were the popular training course, effective surveys that added to knowledge of sites, and collaboration between groups. Ongoing goals include publishing survey results and conducting more site work. Challenges involve resources for precise georeferencing and logistics of multi-site surveys.

Urban Archaeology - Session 12: Writing for Archaeology
This is the final session in the Urban Archaeology lifelong learning module. This session looked at different forms of writing for archaeology. Including blogging or maintaining wikis with the Council of British Archaeology for community-based fieldwork projects, and publishing archaeological reports. The session also covered ideas for where to go next, including information on where to volunteer in archaeology, and where to find jobs in the sector.
Urban Archaeology Session 9: Cemeteries
Cemeteries and churchyards can provide information about the history and makeup of communities. The development of gravestones over time shows changes in styles, materials, and imagery that reflected cultural and religious changes. Careful recording of gravestone inscriptions, locations, images, and materials can reveal details about individuals as well as the social statuses and occupations of community members. Modern cemetery surveys help preserve this historical information for future study.
Urban archaeology session 8 - domestic archaeology
Domestic archaeology examines how domestic spaces and living arrangements have changed over time as reflections of broader social changes. It can reveal how public and private spaces evolved, from medieval hall houses with communal living to modern homes with more private family spaces. While domestic architecture superficially changes slowly, the ways people live within homes can transform enormously in response to industrialization, urbanization, and evolving social norms. Houses are adapted over time to suit changing needs and lifestyles on both large and small scales. Examining old and new domestic structures provides clues about past societies and how living arrangements continually evolve.
Social media for researchers workshop 071112
This document summarizes a workshop on using social media for researchers. The workshop covered defining social media, why academics use social media, how social media can be used throughout the research cycle, popular social media tools and platforms, and strategic approaches to using social media. The workshop provided information on social media analytics, digital professionalism, and ethical considerations for researchers using social media. It also included interactive sessions to discuss applying social media concepts.
Urban archaeology session 8 - domestic archaeology
Domestic archaeology examines how domestic spaces and habits have changed over time and what they reveal about social history. It analyzes the transition from public to private living spaces in Britain from medieval to modern times. While large social changes like industrialization drove some transformations, personal adaptations and revolutions also shaped domestic architecture as people modified homes to suit their needs. Houses thus manifest the personal, family, and social relationships that constitute domestic life.
Urban Archaeology Session 8: Add-on - Genealogy and Family History
This document provides information on genealogy and family history research, including definitions, websites, government and library repositories, organizations, databases, formats and software for building and sharing family trees. Key resources mentioned include Ancestry.com, Findmypast, FamilySearch, National Archives, Society of Genealogists and GEDCOM file format for storing genealogy data on computers. Free and paid software options are listed for constructing, visualizing and sharing family trees online and on mobile devices.
Urban Archaeology Session 7: Archaeologists and Objects
This document discusses the analysis and interpretation of archaeological artifacts. It defines an artifact as any object made or modified by humans. Archaeologists examine the primary context of artifacts, including the surrounding matrix and their horizontal and vertical positions. Formation processes, both cultural and natural, help explain how objects became buried. Dating artifacts can involve spot dating during excavation or post-excavation methods like absolute or relative dating. The document traces the history of how archaeologists have approached and interpreted artifacts, from classifying cultures based on material traits to more nuanced social archaeological approaches that aim to reconstruct past societies.

Re-Reading the British Memorial Project #de2012
This document summarizes a project that aims to record church memorials and artifacts in a coastal region using open source and community-based approaches. The project team is multi-disciplinary and uses techniques like Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) to digitally capture objects. They work with local community groups and investigate open source tools, open practices of collaboration, and open access/data approaches to documentation. The goal is to preserve this cultural heritage while empowering communities and making the data widely accessible.
Datapool sxsc
This document introduces Datapool 3D, a group focused on 3D data surveying and practices led by Gareth Beale, Hembo Pagi, and Steve Hitchcock. It discusses how 3D data is used across disciplines and communities in various ways and is becoming more diverse. The document considers how Datapool's 3D data is currently used, how it would like to be used, and whether it could be useful to others. It provides a link to the Datapool blog for more information.

Urban Archaeology Session 6: Industrial Archaeology
- 1. Industrial Archaeology & Architecture 08 November 2012 Week 6
- 2. Today What is Industrial Archaeology and how can I do it? • Defining Industrial Archaeology • Trade and Industry in the Archaeological Record • Techniques for Industrial Archaeology
- 3. Classical Definition • Donald Dudley & Michael Ricks 1955 in The Amateur Historian the 18th and 19th Century, the monuments of the industrial revolution. • “The discovery, recording and study of the physical remains of yesterday’s industries and communications.” Baker (1963) Industrial Archaeology: An Introduction
- 4. Trade and Industry • A very old story indeed, so what is industrial archaeology? • In post industrial landscapes it is easy to understand the focus on the modern age but in cities like Southampton this makes less sense.
- 5. Techniques for Industrial Archaeology • Transience is what makes industrial archaeology unique. • It relies upon understandings of processes which are easily lost. • Taff Merthyr Colliery • Consequently we require two sets of techniques • Documentation and Preservation
- 6. 1. Documentation • Record what remains and try to interpret it • Commonly known as ‘archaeology’!
- 7. Recording a Roman Port Complex • Port of Imperial Rome between the mid- 1st century AD and the 6thcentury AD • established by Claudius in the mid-1st century AD, enlarged by Trajan, and subsequently modified during the 3rd and 4thcenturies AD. • Civil Architecture on an Astonishing Scale
- 11. Latrines Images copyright of Portus Project
- 12. Questions Remain • Where are the people? • What were these buildings used for? • Mysterious remains hint at a medival life about which we know very little…
- 13. 2. Preservation • Prevent understandings from being lost • Documents, instruction manuals, recorded material, oral histories.
- 14. How can I do Industrial Archaeology? Collect material! Think about the methods we have already covered • Participation: Association of Industrial Archaeology English Heritage – Industrial Heritage at Risk http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/caring/heritage-at-risk/industrial-heritage-at-risk/ http://www.flickr.com/groups/industrialheritageatrisk/
- 15. Oral History • The perfect industrial method. • The original research technique. • Voices not usually heard.
- 16. Oral History Oral History Society http://www.ohs.org.uk What do you want to know? Who will you talk to? Which questions should you ask?
