About

Neko, the girl with the proverbial trowel, does not normally use one, but it works as a reference for archaeology!

Which, by the way does not, and never has, involved the study of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are great, but they are not archaeology, which is concerned with people, and unless we listen to scary intelligent design proponents, people and dinosaurs have never coexisted except in cool movies(!). :p

She can most commonly be found:

a) in the lab swearing at the computer

b) bouncing around a field with a box that goes beep (geophysics to the initiated)

c) according to her profile on Cas’s website (Neko) being a vampire in a castle in Wales. Sorry to spoil the illusion, but this only happened once. Being a vampire in Southampton however…

This blog serves as (amongst other things) a place to ramble about archaeology and computing, a place to keep in contact with good friends from all over the world, and an outlet for her seldom seen creative side.

Please join in with comments and debate! As far as the girl is concerned, blogs are very much ’social computing’ :)

    Hi Kayt,

    I’ve been reading http://girlwithtrowel.wordpress.com/ and after seeing your post on Memes and social media I wanted to let you know about BBC Blast Studio, a place where you can shoot paintball guns, drip coloured glue and control glowing tubes of light over the internet -no, seriously! See http://www.blastgetcreative.co.uk for the full picture.

    The project is BBC Blast Studio (part of BBC Blast – http://www.bbc.co.uk/Blast) which encourages creativity in young people. It does this by online help, support and inspiration, hands on events across the country and opportunities across creative industries, from fashion to music and everything in between. This art project is a way you can really get involved in an easy way from home, and see your handiwork created live in the studio as you watch.

    Let me know if you would like anymore info and I’ll get back to you. Also, if you’re really interested in creative projects and the like, let us know what interests you and how you might like to get involved and we’ll see what we can do.

    Thanks,

    Christine
