Summer 2012 Archaeology Field School

Herstmonceux Castle, December 2011

Welcome to 'Hanna at Herstmonceux, Part 2'! I leave on June 14th for a five-week Field School in British Archaeology. It will be back at the Bader International Study Centre (run by Queens University in Canada) at Herstmonceux ("Herst-mon-soo") Castle in England.

I'll have one day in London after my flight before I meet up with the other arriving students and get to the castle on June 16. Then I'll be doing a mix of classroom work and digging on the castle grounds until July 19. I'll be receiving 6 credits for the classes I take there (the equivalent of 1 two-term course or 2 single-term courses at UBC). 3 credits are for Roman Archaeology and the other 3 credits are for Medieval Archaeology. 

After school finishes at the castle on July 19, I'll be spending time in Newbury, Bristol, and London before meeting up with my mom in London. We'll be visiting London, Durham, Whitby, Cambridge, Ely, Lincoln, and Winchester before flying home on August 5th. 

Again, you're not all obliged to check this blog- but if you're wondering what I'm up to, this is where to find me! Thanks for the positive feedback about this blog from last time and I look forward to sharing more photos with you.  :)
