SSCR Archaeology - Episode 3

Podcast Synopsis: Episode 3

Welcome back for another episode of the Swindon Southern Connector Road Archaeology Series.

I’m Jessica Lowther, Community Archaeologist for Headland Archaeology.

Join me as I talk to Michail Kaikas, Project Officer for Headland Archaeology, responsible for the day to day running of the archaeology site and ensuring the team have all they need to excavate and interpret the archaeology.

I get to ask Michail all about the role of a field archaeologist. Is it really all little brushes and trowels?

We also get to chatting about interpreting archaeology – complicated business!

Terms from the podcast explained! Below are few terms that we use in archaeology that come up during the podcast.

Plant –                                  ‘Plant’ in the construction, and construction adjacent industries, refers to machinery used in an industrial process. You might also hear this used in the manufacturing industry.
