Fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral: How Eggs Saved the Day!
This morning, the world is coming to terms with the tragic fire at Notre-Dame de Paris. Yesterday evening we watched in horror as the Gothic masterpiece's central spire collapsed in to the building.
But this morning, it is becoming clear that the damage is not total, things are not as bad as we feared... and it's all thanks to eggs!
This short film is the culmination of two years filming with the Tinsley Time and Travel Project.
Tinsley today is a post industrial suburb on the northern edge of Sheffield with an amazing but little studied history, and evidence of continuous human occupation for over 3000 years.
Using themes which have shaped the community since pre-history, those of transport travel and change, ‘Tinsley Time and Travel’ engages residents and the wider community in a broader understanding of Tinsley’s heritage of transition and resilience.
Employing a range of methods including archaeology, archives, photos, films, historical sites, natural heritage and memories, the project aims to tell the story of Tinsley's changing identity over time.
These different resources connect people to their local heritage; sharing the history of experiences and different ways of viewing the area through history.

Statement from Worcester University:
“Following a declining interest in studying Archaeology, which has been seen UK-wide, the University of Worcester has very regretfully taken the decision to close the remaining offer in this subject. Applicant numbers have been very low for several years and have now declined to the level where a course in Archaeology at the University is simply unviable. We have made strenuous efforts to attract applicants but, despite all the efforts of the colleagues concerned and the work of the University as a whole, the trend away from studying Archaeology has proved to be deep seated and there is no alternative but to close the offer of our Archaeology courses.
The small number of students who are currently completing their studies will continue to be supported to gain their qualifications.
The number of staff affected is very small and the University will make every effort to find other ways of using their teaching expertise. Teaching staff concerned are being fully consulted.”

Welcome to the A-Z of Archaeology! In this series we take a look at the world of Archaeology, employing the alphabet as our guide.
This is a Special Edition re-release of the A-Z of Archaeology, part of a year of celebration for 10 years of Archaeosoup Productions!
Where possible, audio quality has been improved and made louder & occasionally visuals have been improved. However I don't want to 'George Lucas' this series and fundamentally alter it... Enjoy.
