Happy to help as well. I am the WiR at the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. We have just got an intern in to help run a mini-photo comp to increase the number of archaeology photos on the commons so there might be some scope to work together there, depending on what your WiR are doing.

 

Please feel free to put them in contact with me.

 

Kind regards,

Doug

Hi Raya, 

 

Really excited to hear about this initiative and would be happy to help if I can.  I worked as an archaeologist in Jordan a (very) long time ago and have maintained an interest in the country and it’s history ever since. 

 

All the best, 

Lorna
