HWTMA Work Experience July 2011 Day Two

Today I arrived by bus, I arrived early at the office at 8:30am and tried the door but it was locked, I then waited in the park until 8:50am when I tried again and was let in. I completed my blog post for Monday then continued working on my task, finding photos of artefacts from relevant ages using the internet. This task was very enjoyable and I felt I progressed steadily throughout the morning. I was kindly offered a coffee mid-morning which was nice.

At 1:00pm I took my lunch break and sat in the park by myself, it was very peaceful. Luckily it only started to rain just as I finished eating so I quickly dashed back into the office for shelter. That was at 1:30pm when I returned to work. Progress was slower but after a chat with Gareth I had a better idea of what photos to look for. Gareth helped me by suggesting different artefacts to look for, for example for the Palaeolithic era he suggested looking for antler or bone tools not just stone ones. I started doing this and made notes on the grid of what to look for so I didn't forget.

At 4:30pm I left in order to catch the bus. Again I had a good day and am looking forward to tomorrow although I am a bit tired.
