Excellent talk this morning by @rubiconarchaeology.bsky.social about social media in archaeology. Honestly, I've been meaning to work more on creating shorts from my longer videos, I just need to find the time! 😅
Slide from a presentation. Header is 'But why use Video for Archaeology?' Six symbols are spread actross the page, with a description of each. 1: 'A modern Deliverable that you can offer to your client'. 2: 'Showcases your hard working and competent staff - can hook in potential clients and/or new hires'. 3: 'It's a quicker method of getting information to the wider public'. 4: 'Gives an opportunity to focus on a specific find/site'. 5: 'Can populate your website, social channels, blogs forever - leaving a direct link for clients and interested public to see the amazing work your company is doing'. 6: 'Relatively cheap when you consider what you get back'.
