I started my placement as a volunteer in the HER department
in September of 2013. I volunteered because I had been out of work for over a
year, and needed something up to date for my CV. The staff members of the HER
dept, Leonora and Charina guided me through the computer software, which looked
complex at the beginning. The colour coded instructions that Leonora typed up
for me at the beginning of my placement, proved to be invaluable in learning
how best to type up report descriptions.
My placement was originally supposed to run up until the end
of October, but I voluntarily extended my placement though November, December
and to the end of January. As someone who knew next to nothing about
archaeology, I would still recommend becoming a volunteer.
