The working life of Museum of London

Dave Sankey, Senior Archaeologist for the Museum of London Archaeology, writes:

I’ve recently returned from Ireland, where I’ve been doing some delivering professional development training to Irish Professional Institutions in Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC). In my “day job” I work as an archaeologist excavating sites before development – and monitoring developments as they take place – but over the 20-odd (very odd?) years with the Museum that has got more and more to do with planning. HLC is concerned with tracing the historic origin of the everyday landscape we all see, all of the time, rather than archaeological sites.

See some photos of Clare and Galway and where it was taken: www.panoramio.com/user/2865482 (click on each thumbnail and you should get a map and some notes too).

I got involved in this from collaborating with Irish specialists in the Clare Landscape Character Assessment.
