Yesterday, #MAEASaM and #MAHSA had the pleasure of welcoming an amazing group of #SuttonTrustSummerSchool students to explore our work in digital archaeology.They got hands-on experience with maps,Google Earth Pro, and QGIS, discovering how technology helps us study and preserve cultural heritage.

We’re happy to share that (MAEASaM) project was well represented at #SAfA2025 in Faro, Portugal, presenting work on digital tools, site mapping & heritage protection across Africa. Grateful to the organizers & all who joined us!

Afin d’assurer la pérennisation des données collectées par le Projet #MAEASaM, l’équipe #Sénégal s’est dotée d’un serveur. Ce dernier sera déployé sous peu et tournera au début avec la plateforme #Arches, un système conçu pour faciliter l’inventaire et la gestion du #patrimoine .
