My name’s Amanda Clarke, and I’m an associate professor of Field Archaeology here at the Department of Archaeology at Reading. I am also the co-director of the Archaeology Field School. The Field School has existed since 1997 . And it’s developed a lot over those 20 years. It began as the Silchester Field School, Silchester Roman Town. Those were its early beginnings. And it’s gradually morphed into the Archaeology Field School. this is a landscape project. So it’s taking a little known archaeological landscape and trying to understand it through time. So from the earliest sort of settlement, in pre-history, right the way through in fact to modern day Vale of Pewsey. The Field School provides technical training. So it’s how you dig.

这就是我知道该怎么做的事情,这就是我在教他们如何做的事情。因此,您可以在使用抹',铲子,铲子,马托克等方面得到大量的技术培训。它正在学习阅读脚下的土壤。因此,您正在教授观察技巧,教育学生不要害怕他们的双手。因此,您喜欢看到他们实际上捡起土壤并感觉到它,并试图弄清楚它的制成以及所有工作方式。尽管媒体可能会相信,但现场考古学并不总是最迷人的事情。在潮湿,雨水,膝盖上的几个小时,所有这些。

因此,正在教人们利用自己的想象力真正与过去互动,了解这些人是我们正在与之合作或调查的人。我认为这种技能非常重要,能够同情过去的人们。我认为有趣的是,一所野外学校远不止于物理挖掘的行为。而且我认为学术项目,大学项目需要进行良好的研究基础。因此,建立了现场学校来进行真正的研究。所以这很令人兴奋。我不仅有很多学生在一个领域学习如何仅仅为了学习如何挖掘才能进行挖掘。他们都在帮助增加我们的知识。
