I was recently pointed in the direction of this series of videos by a friend. There’s an archaeological dig going on in Orkney and the team are posting a daily update on YouTube. Just the thing for the EduBuzz community, if you haven’t spotted it already. I’ve found it fascinating.
As an aside, Number 2 son did his work experience last year with a local archaeological consultancy. He’s got no plans to be an archaeologist, as far as I know (and after all what does a mother know about these things?), but he is interested in things environmental and did have a great time with them. They looked after him really well. He spent time in each of their departments, cleaning tiles, doing drawings, washing tiles, database searches, washing more tiles, and spent a day out on a job with one of the team. Before washing yet more tiles. He loved it and came back buzzing each day. Just what work experience should be about!
