In late February, the MiPP team convened at the University of Bedford, where Helen Bailey hosted two day’s of motion capture. The objectives were to test a few aspects of the technology and methodology which have arisen over the last few weeks.

Key apects of the sessions included:

- real-time emplacement of present day motion-actors (dancers) in a virtual archaeological site (Iron Age Silchester – focusing upon the roundhouse).
- an investigation into the potential meanings and choreographies generated by such a methodology.
