Hello Dan -
Thanks for your message! Yes, our AHRC/ESRC-funded project began last month. As Rachael says our website will be launching shortly. As well as the published outcomes we're making a documentary film and holding an exhibition at the Pitt Rivers.
For those in/near London, I'll be talking about the project in the UCL Institute of Archaeology seminar series on Monday 13 March.

Hi Rachael and all,
Thanks for the links and info. I look forward to seeing how the project develops, really interesting and very important work. Do keep us posted on this list when more web material is available.
I’m really interested to see how archaeology can contribute to understanding and recording these events as they happen.
Good luck with the research.
Cheers,
Dan

Hi Dan,
There's a group of us working on a collaborative project between the Pitt Rivers Museum and Oxford's Refugee Studies Centre. Our project's called 'Architectures of Displacement: experiences and consequences of temporary migrant shelter'. We have just started but we've visited the Jungle (Nov 2016) and I'm off to Athens in March. My colleagues are going to Berlin and Jordan and we're visiting Lampedusa, among other places. We're keen to record the various types of temporary shelter that migrants must endure and show how some projects are positive forces of solidarity; how migrants help themselves and contribute positively to the countries they end up in while they wait for paperwork etc.
My colleagues are Dan Hicks, Tom Scott-Smith and Mark E. Breeze. We are variously archaeologists, an anthropologist and an architect. More information to come out on a website soon.
Best wishes,
Rachael

Thanks James for the link to this incredibly powerful exhibition. Just a shame I won’t be able to see it in person.
Does anyone know of any archaeologists working/having worked at the Calais Jungle camp, or what remains of it? It strikes me that contemporary archaeology could play a significant role in retelling these stories through such evocative material remains, and bearing witness to this crisis.
Regards,
Dan

Dear all,
We will be holding our first informal London meet-up of 2017 on Thursday 2 February at The Owl and Pussycat on Redchurch Street, E2. In advance of the pub, we encourage people to visit the exhibition Dzhangal at theAutograph ABP gallery in nearby Rivington Place, Gideon Mendel’s installation using objects gathered from the Calais ‘Jungle’. The exhibition is open until 9pm, but we will be there 1730-1830. Further details here:
http://autograph-abp.co.uk/exhibitions/dzhangal
Following that, we will be at The Owl and Pussycat from 1900.

According to its website, the pub is ‘a proper old battlecruiser right in the heart of the New East End’ and promises ‘vintage leather sofas by a roaring fire’.
Shoreditch High Street Overground station is closest, but it’s within walking distance of Liverpool Street and Old Street as well.
PubCHAT exists to provide a friendly forum for discussion of contemporary/historical archaeology and welcomes all comers.
Please contact me or Sefryn Penrose for any further information.
Yours,
James
