Donna and Suzie take part in the Day of Archaeology
29 Jul 2013
On Friday, 26th of July, Donna Yates and Suzie Thomas both contributed to the Day of Archaeology.
The Day of Archaeology project, which began in 2011 and is run by volunteers, aims to provide a window onto the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asks people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology website.
Suzie and Donna were keen to take part in the Day of Archaeology, being both archaeologically trained but currently working in the interdisciplinary environment of the Trafficking Culture research team, based in a centre for criminology. Their respective blog entries demonstrated the diversity of the research and analysis that goes on in Trafficking Culture’s study of the global market in looted cultural objects, with Donna currently on location in La Paz, Bolivia, on the first of her visits there to gather data, while Suzie was in a very quiet office in Glasgow, working on the transcribing of interviews.
