Four Institute of Archaeology students start year-long placement with ASE

Claire is excited to try a everything and anything on her placement year! Her interests specifically include public engagement and social media, so we’ll definitely be getting her to make us some sweet sweet content throughout the year. Find out more in Claire’s full interview.

Galahad has a particular interest in landscape archaeology and Neolithic Western Europe! Fingers crossed for some interesting Neolithic archaeology turning up this year, and for lots of discussions about the wider landscapes our sites are in with our experienced field team. Read Galahad’s full interview to find out about his excavation experience so far.

Sol is up for doing lots of fieldwork to really master the fundamentals! His current interest is in the computational side of archaeology, including photogrammetry and GIS. Hopefully there will be lots of chance to work on this with our survey team! For more of what he’s looking forward to, read Sol’s full interview.

Tasnima has a current love of animal bone analysis, but is also excited to potentially find and work with other artefacts like ceramics and ‘shiny things’! Sounds like she’ll enjoy a trip to our zooarchaeological reference collection and working with our team of in-house finds specialists! She goes into much more depth about her interest in animal bone, and archaeology in general, in Tasnima’s full interview.
