Judges’ Comments
The judges praised the ambition of the work and the potential of the outcome to be a catalyst for public advocacy and involvement in wider archaeological communities. Whilst the project was unfinished the judges praised the technicality evidenced so far, complimented the way which Jolene had challenged herself to learn new skills during creation (a cornerstone of the Heritage Jam practice), and hoped that further development would occur so this fantastic prototype could be realised to its potential.
