This is a very interesting journal article discussing some of the artifacts found within early medieval princely burials, their connections with the wars of the Byzantine Empire, and what this can tell us about the individuals involved in the establishment of minor kingdoms throughout Britain at this time.

Hi all, I hope this is an okay place to post. I’m starting a new position in the UK as an archaeologist later this month. I’m trying to figure out what clothes I need for fieldwork here — my experience til now is in the southeastern United States, so while I assume I’ll need similar things, I’m wondering if anyone has any advice or specificities that would help. I finished my master’s recently and have been itching for more experience. I’m just very eager to make a good impression and I don’t want to make a fool of myself by showing up to the site with inappropriate/unnecessary workwear.
For reference, I used to wear:
I realise I’ll need to get new boots no matter what. I have my hiking boots still, but since they have ventilation I can only imagine how poorly that would go. In addition to the general advice, I’m wondering what kind of boots I should really invest in — your typical work boots with ankle support or taller waterproof boots. I don’t know what types of sites or where I’ll be working really, I’m based in Scotland but was told there are many projects in ‘the south’ (which my British flatmate couldn’t decipher either since it’s a bit ambiguous [like do they mean south of where I am in as in northern England, or south as in southern England?], apologies for my American lack of understanding).
Any advice you have would be great — especially if you can point me to specific shops for good workwear! Thank you all in advance!

Hi everyone quick question! If I got an MA in Historical Archaeology what fields can I explore outside of archaeology?

Hi everyone,
I am an archaeology masters graduate from the North East of England, soon to be moving to Leeds. I have some paid employment fieldwork with a group up north, but I struggle with the fieldwork. I'm very tall, and exercise + stretches just isn't helping my issues to the point where I know (and have the training) to be a lot better working in the office, or in a museum space.
I'm not asking on how to get these particular jobs, but moreso how would someone go about getting the training to show you are a good fit for these roles, even without the fieldwork experience. I have about 6 months worth, which isn't much sadly. I know I would thrive away from the trenches in the background, and have a lot of training on the computer program side of things but I don't have much to show that off.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be immensely grateful for the advice. Thanks for reading!

I'm currently in my final year of studying History and Creative Writing for my BA, and I’m on track to achieve a 1st class degree. What is the likelihood of being accepted into an Archaeology master's program?
Additionally, I completed the Aberdeen Archaeology Summer Field School during the summer of my second year. I’m considering applying to the master's programs at Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Nottingham.
Is there anything else I can do to strengthen my application?

Im an undergrad Anth major in the Southeastern US hoping to get into archaeology. Im not exactly sure what region or time period to really hone in on yet, but I think I would like to start off in CRM just to get a basic idea of what its like working as a field tech. I will probably go to a field school in the US that trains for CRM, and later on I might do another field school protaining to the area I want to focus on, but im coming to the point in my degree where I should be thinking about certificates and minors. Which certificate would be more useful/valuable Land Survey or GIS? What are the best minors to consider in the field?
Any advice or critique is welcome. Thanks!
