Posted on behalf of my great friend twitter.com/DEJPett/

In 2013 the crowdsourced.micropasts.org/ project started, drawing on the power of the crowd to digitise 1000s of index cards in the British Museum on Bronze Age metalwork.

Fast forward a decade and a new website — bronze-age-index.micropasts.or showcases these materials, and much more.

The mapping interface operates at minimal cost (running Gatsby, Meilisearch, GitHub). It uses , @aboutgeo's magnificent software, re-developed using Anna Foka's project periegesis.org (on which I'm working) and a small grant from my university
(@OpenUniversity). It enables you to search by findspot and uses publicly accessible geodata sourced from finds.org.uk/.

Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to know more / apply Peripleo to your data.
