Trowel and Error (PUNS 2)
PUNS2 (Public User Needs Survey 2) will build on the original PUNS project which examined the use of archaeological fieldwork publications by the archaeological community across the UK. This time, the project will broaden in scope to encompass the wider range of dissemination available today (e.g. social media, open access publications, films, and blogs) and targeting a broader range of audiences. Following consultation through workshops, interviews and surveys, the project aims to contribute towards an evidence based framework for improving the sharing of archaeological results.
PUNS2 will be led by CBA working in partnership with MOLA. The project is funded by Historic England and is being undertaken as part of the 21st Century Challenges in Archaeology project (21 CAP).

Archaeology Audience Network
The Archaeology Audience Network is a 2-year project that brings together many of the UK’s leading archaeological organisations to build the most accurate picture to date of the audiences that public and community archaeology attracts and engages with in England and make it freely accessible online.
Your Heritage, Your Story
“Your Heritage, Your Story” is an interactive documentary project that answers some of these questions by presenting personal stories of archaeology and heritage from recent migrants in the UK. Created in collaboration with the Theatre, Film, Television and Interactive Media Department at the University of York and the CBA, the project looks at the interactive documentary as an inclusive and creative storytelling model to forefront the voices of underrepresented individuals.
