So excited to see this. Kayleigh has been an incredible support and dear friend to Brighton Young Archaeologists Club, and ourselves at Archaeodiscovery during our #ChangingChalk #Heritagefunduk #communityarchaeology dig at Bevendean Farm Green this past year.

Cover of the book 'Archaeology, Heritage, and Reactionary Populism, edited by Randall H. McGuire and Alfredo González-Ruibal. The cover features a sketch of an archaeological excavation, with the ground divided into square sections, one person crouching with something in their hand, another standing with their back turned, observing one of the sections, and two people digging with spades.

📖 The book "Archaeology, Heritage, and Reactionary Populism" includes a chapter by Xurxo Ayán dedicated to #CommunityArchaeology: "Reality bites. The insufferable lightness of being a community archaeologist".
