A reminder for us all, our heritage is so very vulnerable!
Although not here in Sussex we can certainly think of so many sites that could be vulnerable here.
If you ever see anything strange, suspicious or out of place please call Police at the time

Church crime prevention and #HeritageCrime being discussed here folks 👍
Out now! read all about it! How satellite technologies and large-scale digital datasets can be used to #UCH. Thanks to #HonorFrostFoundation we used our #MaritimeObservatory to investigate looting on the Egadi #BronzeAge site of #Sicily. #heritagecrime honorfrostfoundation.org/2026/01/23/n...
We also invites Giles Richardson onto the #WatchingBrief to discuss the pioneering work of the #MaritimeObservatory in developing techniques whereby satellite data can be used to monitor Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) and deter and investigate #HeritageCrime impacting on such sites.
The new work is by Jessica Berry and Giles Richardson of the UK Maritime Archaeology Sea Trust (MAST) and #HeritageCrime expert Peter Campbell of Cranfield University.
Here is an article I wrote with Giles in 2023 where he describes their work on the looting of HMS Prince of Wales off Malaysia.
thePipeLine and #WatchingBrief have been covering the work of Archaeologists to protect historic shipwrecks from commercial #HeritageCrime.
Now the Honor Frost Foundation has published a new study of the use of cutting edge satellite technology and data analysis to identify and track bad actors.
Good news
