Work Experience – Yuwan

A few weeks ago we had the wonderful Yuwan here with us for a work experience placement, from the University of Essex. She was an excellent addition to our team. Read her thoughts below:

“I am honoured to have participated in a placement provided by the Colchester Archaeological Trust at the Roman Circus. I met super nice colleagues and two sweet dogs here

During this time, I engaged in various archaeological tasks such as marking pottery sherds (which was quite fun XD), organising waterlogged artefacts and metal items, learning about excavated animal bones, and visiting an excavation site. It was truly exciting to see an archaeological site for the first time.

With the help of my colleagues Vikki and Bronagh, I gradually become familiar with all tasks. I am also delighted to have had the chance to work with all the colleagues who are passionate about archaeology here”

Thank you so much Yuwan!
