🏺 Do you create or use heritage science data? 🧬 The Heritage Science Data Service is being developed to support everyone to access, use and create new research with heritage science data. Make sure it works for you by responding to our user needs survey here: buff.ly/uEc16e3

This is maybe a timely reminder that not everyone working in heritage has the same levels of access to academic resources & archives. As much as we'd want it to be - the heritage sector is NOT a level playing field. Support open access in archaeology, reduce barriers to research (see link below).

🏺Since 1996, we’ve been pushing the envelope in digital publishing, exploring how media can enrich archaeological knowledge. From data to interactive mapping, we're proud to be an open access journal that’s committed to preserving and sharing critical research. Explore more here: buff.ly/JHSwfgp

🧬 What is Heritage Science? 📜Whether it’s uncovering hidden drawings beneath masterpieces or using 3D tech to map shipwrecks, heritage science brings together archaeologists, physicists, conservators, and more to protect and understand our cultural treasures. Explore more here: buff.ly/haVkzQW

🌐✨ Join us in supporting open access in archaeology! We want to support researchers who have no institutional backing to cover publishing and archiving costs, especially those whose data may be at risk of being lost. Find more information on how to apply via this link: buff.ly/Ix1hqXN
