Session 5: Way of the Archaeologist-Recording an archaeological site

Last nights hands-on workshop provided the group with a taste of basic archaeological recording methods.

The group split into two, half the group learned how to carry out an offset survey with Rowena Hart (GGAT Project Officer), while the rest tried their hand at planning an archaeological feature (they never realised how fun drawing flagstones could be!) and placing levels on their drawing.

Session 5:The way of the Archaeologist - Workshop Recording an Archaeological Site

Tonight we will be learning about basic archaeological recording methods through a practical hands-on workshop led by a Rowena Hart (GGAT Projects Officer).

By the end of this session the group members will be have the skills to produce a visual record of an archaeological site that comprises a brief written statement, photography and measured drawing.

The principles taught in this session will be put into practice in next Fridays session on site.
