Hi, I am Louise Bedford, an archaeologist and heritage communicator. 

On my YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Website, all called 'Louise Archaeology', I post a variety of archaeology-related content about whatever interests me.

I am passionate about sharing archaeology with a variety of audiences, which is what initially inspired me to pursue content creation and explore my broader research interests. I am open to freelance inquiries, whether for influencer activities or projects. Please see my portfolio for examples of my previous work, and feel free to get in touch for my media kit. 

In April 2023, I uploaded my first archaeology YouTube video on my favourite artefact of all time, the Nebra Sky Disc. Since then, I posted on and off, but in the last year, I have committed to posting, falling in love with it all over again since completing my degree. My dream is to write archaeology books.

Professionally, I also work part-time as an Archaeology Digital Content Creator for a commercial unit and museum, so I have extensive experience with social media and content creation. (Feel free to connect on LinkedIn). 

Outside of social media, I am also an academic. In July 2025, I graduated with a first-class BA Archaeology degree from the University of York. Currently, I am pursuing an MSc in Digital Heritage and am thinking about pursuing a PhD in the near future, but I think I need some time off first! 

My academic interests lie in using digital technologies like games and social media for communicating archaeology. I am also interested in bringing as much creativity as possible to dissemination. In regard to time periods, prehistory is my absolute favourite, especially the Neolithic. That said, I love it all.  

Outside of archaeology, I love coffee, games (video + board varieties) and travelling (which I fear is inside archaeology as I love visiting sites). 

Don't hesitate to get in touch. I am honestly just a massive nerd.
