Refreshed website
A fresh new look has been applied to the DG website as of 26 August 2026.
Some pages have been consolidated, and a new page has been added about care of bronze artefacts, here.
Apologies for still not being a social media butterfly, but research takes up most of my time!
Some Dodecahedra Girl presentations
On 1 June 2026, Dodecahedra Girl gave a talk to the Borders Archaeological Society entitled "Roman Dodecahedra, Archaeological Science, and Zombies" in Berwick-upon-Tweed. My thanks to the society and Lindsay Allason-Jones for inviting me.
Dodecahedra Girl showed a poster specifically about the Norton Disney dodecahedron at the RAC/TRAC conference, May 21-23, 2026, in Aarhus, Denmark. My thanks to the Roman Society and TRAC for accepting my proposal.
New YouTube channel for Dodecahedra Girl
https://www.youtube.com/@DodecahedraGirl
No videos there yet, but I had to establish a channel.
There has been a great deal of opportunistic blagging about dodecahedra in the press lately by unqualified non-specialists, passing themselves off as experts. Sigh. Just: don't.
I have done what I can with a couple of long, heartfelt Twitter threads (part 1, part 2), but the fight against misinformation continues.
Mad props to @FlintDibble and his recent gutsy appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Flint has inspired me to speak up and speak out more about my expertise and the evidence vs misinformation fight.
Dodecahedra Girl gets published!
My brief article on the South Shields dodecahedron is in the current issue of Archaeologia Aeliana (Sixth Series, Volume 2) with lovely colour images!

Dodecahedra Girl is on Digging for Britain!
About 28 minutes into Season 11 Episode 4 is the story of a very exciting new dodecahedron find that I was involved with recently.
This episode will be broadcast at 8:00 PM GMT on Tuesday 9 January, and is available on BBC iPlayer any time.
And yes, Alice Roberts is extremely nice! As was everyone associated with the show at Rare TV. It was a terrific experience. Alice invited me to come back when I have more dodecahedra results I can share...I definitely will.

It's been a busy year, and more and more dodecahedra keep coming into my life. (Thank you, universe!) Since I finished my MA a year ago, I've now logged EIGHT more dodecahedra in western Europe, and they just keep turning up.
Thank you to all my collaborators and clients, supervisors and friends for a great 2023.
