A Day in the Life of an associate director

3/11/2016

​(as translated by Mum & Dad)
 
6am:  Wake up smiling, have some milk, put on my dig boots
Picture
7am:  Site inspections with the Director (Dad) – I get to distract the team from the work they should be doing by expressing my opinion on archaeological practices and complex stratigraphy in “blahs”, “gghhhrrs”, and “la laah’s”.
Picture
​9am: Breakfast with the team, this is a great opportunity to get as many cuddles as possible.
 
10am: Milk and sleep, sometimes it gets tiring doing archaeology, so I go down for a nap; something which the rest of the team aren’t allowed to do.
Picture
​12pm: Lunch, another opportunity to check in with the team and hear about the discoveries of coins, glass, pottery and walls from the day.
 
2pm: Milk and sleep (again).  Good opportunity to fill nappies.
 
3pm: Excursion or Tour.  Although work is hard, I do get some down time to see the sites, enjoy new food experiences and take a dip in the Mediterranean Sea.

​Recent trips have included the Paphos Archaeological Museum:

​The theatre at Kourion

​and hearing about the Tombs of the Kings

6pm: Dinner and Bedtime.  Most of the time I am pretty tired from the day but occasionally like Halloween and Melbourne Cup nights I stay up and have dinner with the team, luckily I can fall asleep in Dad or Mum’s arms.

It is pretty exciting as it is my first time in Cyprus and my first dig.  Who knows, in 20 years’ time I might even study archaeology at university…

    Bloggers

    Each season our team including the directors, students, architects, volunteers, ceramicists and other finds specialists will blog about the day to day sweat and adventures that come with life on an archaeological dig.

    Each post will be signed off by the team member and together these posts will represent the variety of expertise and experiences that happen when working overseas on a dig. 

    ​Please join in and ask any questions about the archaeological excavations, research, field methods, the island of Cyprus, food on a dig, or anything else you’re interested to know in our comments section.
