Katherine Maeer - BA Archaeology
Katherine’s PWE award is supporting her participation in the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project (SHARP) in Norfolk, where she will both get more excavation experience as well as learn more about non-invasive and landscape archaeology.
The award is going towards me getting valuable and fun experience in archaeology and letting me learn more about landscape archaeology, something which I think I may want to go into.

Thomas and Oliver - BA Archaeology and History
Thomas and Oliver are spending four weeks this summer at an excavation of the Neopalatial (1600-1450 BCE) Mansion House of Gaidourophas in eastern Crete. Their interest in this region was sparked by our second year module ‘Minoans: Crete in the Bronze Age’ and their participation in this project is supported by PWE awards.
Having studied Neopalatial Crete (writing our end of term assessments and exam answers on this time period) we were extremely enthusiastic about taking the opportunity to excavate on such a significant site.
