Duncan - Day 1

12/08/09

Hi there,

I'm Duncan and I am an archaeology student at Nottingham University. I have just done my first year of my degree and this summer am required to do 20 days placement. I chose to apply for a placement with the Hampshire and Wight trust as they were recommended to me through a friend. Today was a casual day of getting to know the staff here a little better and settle into the friendly atmosphere, that I had found evident in the office. I was given a project of researching ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) which are tools employed not only in maritime archaeology but other off shore areas as well. I hope to gain a wide variety of experience from my placement and also meet new, friendly people and come away with a few stories.
