Concept & Authors

The concept and direction for the digital project is a creation of Lorna Richardson from the Thames Discovery Programme and Andy Dufton from L – P : Archaeology. The site is mostly built using the Textpattern content management system which was set up and designed by Andy. The concept and content is created, edited and managed by Lorna, with contributions from the Foreshore Recording and Observation Group. The authors of individual articles are credited on the article itself. This website has been developed by L – P : Archaeology.

Technical Information

We have attempted to make a standards compliant site, if you find anything that needs a little more work, please get in touch.

On a more technical note, the web site is built using Textpattern 4.0.6 making use of various plugins, not least vdh_flickr and ‘lightbox’ for the wonderful galleries (hacking by Andy). The data hosting is powered by L – P : Archaeology’s ARK Archaeological Recording Kit with plugins developed for Textpattern setup by Andy. This whole system relies on the solid foundations of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP with additional help from UMN Mapserver and OpenLayers.

The beautiful social icons on the front page are White Magick, designed by Cheth Studios.
