I was trying to think of one picture to sum up my day…..20 new people, stifling temperatures……rotas, lists, visits, queries, worries, hot sweltering weather, and logistics! Oh and did I mention the weather?
So I took 2 pictures of my office door: thank you cards, absences list, day off list, pleas to help with the Day of Archaeology blog,rotas, guest lectures……..at times the size of this project is overwhelming! I have 2 rules, and 2 rules only 1. Keep smiling 2. Remember…..it is ONLY a dig!
Site life goes on as normal. As I induct newcomers into the ways and wiles of the Silchester Town Life project, Dan teaches the students the mysteries of the Harris matrix – the archaeologist’s way of representing sequence.
Dan, students and the Harris matrix
I am quite relieved when we reach the end of the day…..BUT all of my list tasks are ticked off successfully. I can sleep easy.
