Project Archaeologist
How long have you worked for Allen Archaeology?
1 year, 5 months
How would describe your excavation technique?
I always try to find the deeper meaning of the hole that I am digging.
How long have you been working in archaeology?
1 year, 5 month (I joined AAL as a trainee), however I have volunteered on excavations abroad and in Britain since 2009.
How did you get into archaeology?
My mum let me pick a book from the Readers’ Digest catalogue. I picked one about ancient Egypt and since reading it for the first time when I was seven, I wanted to be an archaeologist.
What is the best thing about your job?
Finds marking and excavating human skeletons. It is a shame but not many people seem to enjoy finds marking. When it comes to skeletons – I hope that one day I get to dig a mummy or a bog body!
Specialist skills?
I can say ‘my name is’ in ancient Egyptian and I am known for being very fast in bagging skeletons.
Best site hut biscuit?
Anything gluten-free. Preferably Jaffa cakes or short bread. I hate anything chocolate flavoured, especially brownies.
