I will update you more as the dig comes to an end and hopefully there is yet more to come. Its the open weekend this weekend, so if… Continue

Archaeology Coursework

My archaeology coursework is all done! it's titled " a Landscape study into the area surrounding St Thomas church in Mellor and its settlement." I have to admit im rather proud of it, even though i was well over word count by about 1000 words, but i couldnt go under word count without jepodising my typological anylsis and my pottery anylsis. If any one is interested in a taster please let me know! Kirsty

Step three: use the edge of the Flint to cut a groove in one end of the wood make sure it will fit the end of the flint in nicely. Step four: use wir… Continue

I checked out your blog and your photos. Seems like it was an amazing trip. I must say I'm a bit jealous. Nothing as exciting as Stonehenge for me. simply working... CRM. I will be headed to Mexico to help out a former professor with his cultural anthro field school

I am running a training dig in kent from 5th-13 April on a large Roman Site if you are interested. There is no cost to dig as it a MA research dig for the Uni of Sussex.

There is free camping on site and I am providing tents if people dont have one.

If you are interested you can Email me at dwalshe5@hotmail.com and I will send you the full dig brief.

you might want to get in touch with a company called Grampus Heritage. They helped me organise a 6 week placement last summer...fully funded! (flights, accomodation, food...)

You'll find their page if you google it. Anyway, if you want any more info, or advice on applying to them, my msn's on my page.

Hope you've had a good weekend!

You should check out the Bethsaida (Israel) trip that Nicolae organizes. It is a perfect trip for an "archaeogeek"!
