About us
The Partners
Creative Director Dr Aaron Watson
Aaron completed his doctorate in 2000 during which time he began to consider the relationship between archaeological fieldwork and interpretation. This led to a series of reflexive approaches to the gathering and communication of ideas, including experimental publications, audiovisual works and the integration of creative methodologies within traditional practice. He then founded Monumental in 2002 offering innovative approaches to visualization, film, and design across academia and the heritage industry. A variety of projects followed, ranging from community archaeology in Cumbria, art installations in Argyll to curatorial advice and project masterplanning.
He has gained international recognition for converging archaeological research, heritage presentation and artistic practice and has been invited to present research papers and exhibit his work in the UK, Europe and the USA. He has also appeared in a number of radio and TV archaeological documentaries.
