work placement june 2011

My first day of work began by a guided tour of the premises which included a quick view of some of the archaeological finds on site. I then discussed with the work experience manager the areas of maritime archaeology that fascinated me the most so that we could communally find an area of interest for me to base my weeks project on. This concluded to be the preservation of materials under the sea and the natural or man made methods of preservation. Once we had settled on an idea I set to work on selecting four specific topics under the title; 'preservation's: how do we save whats under the sea,' that i could limit my research to. I then used a combination of the Internet, the office library and the staff to collate relevant information to go under each sub title. With all this information collected tomorrow I plan to use the gathered information to begin my A1 'preservation methods' poster design.
