Hi Dave,
I'm in the middle of setting up the project for recovering alcohol and drug dependants, when all the stakeholders are on board I'll write an article for Past Horizons as well as posting full details here. What I can say is that so far we've identified a site for a training excavation, the next thing is to train the participants in research skills so that the group can produce a DBA. Apologies for the lack of detail.
I'm also setting up a project for street artists which will look at the historic roots of graffiti, (Viking graffiti at Skara Brae, Roman graffiti at Pompeii, etc); then look at contemporary examples in Gloucester by setting up a database (if possible, similar to the Graffiti Archaeology website). The study will be followed by an art project which brings all the project's elements together and displays them to the wider public of Gloucester as an exhibition. - Lots of interest for this, youth groups in Gloucester can't wait to get started.
