Lindisfarne: new research and new ways of working, the DigVentures model in action by Lisa Westcott Wilkins and Brendon Wilkins.
In 2021 the DigVentures team is running its sixth season of excavation on the significant early monastic site in collaboration with Dr David Petts of Durham University. The results of this work are fascinating in themselves, but we will also explore the new way of working
developed by DigVentures. The excavation has been entirely crowd-funded, £0.25m so far, and all of the data recorded so far are available to study online. Working in this way on this and other projects has resulted in the growth of a large community of engaged followers both
on site and on-line, and we believe that this model has both widened and deepened public engagement in archaeological research.
