The client I'm designing for is an archaeologist My client does excavations, which is when earth is dug up in search of ancient treasures. As part of my proposal, I've included an open space excavation exhibition showcasing some Angola Saxon metals. This will be linked to the research learning centre to educate people.
ArcheologistisMy clients and archaeologists. I will be designing for my client and his co two co workers.My clients require a lot of storage space as they posses a lot of tools and equipment. Also my clients need to be able to store their findings in these storage space. My clients require a lab where they can work.
JewellryJewellery is a universal form of adornment. Jewellery made from shells, stone and bones survives from prehistoric times. It is likely that from an early date it was worn as a protection from the dangers of life or as a mark of status or rank.
In the ancient world the discovery of how to work metals was an important stage in the development of the art of jewellery. Over time, metalworking techniques became more sophisticated and decoration more intricate. Gold, a rare and highly valued material, was buried with the dead so as to accompany its owner into the afterlife. Much archaeological jewellery comes from tombs and hoards. Sometimes, as with the gold collars from Celtic Ireland which have been found folded in half, it appears people may have followed a ritual for the disposal of jewellery. For the first part of this project, i had find something that my client would find in their role. After researching on my clients occupation I came across some interesting objects that my client would find. One of these being a piece of jewellery.
The Importance of Underwater Archaeology Shipwrecks are unique time capsules, providing archaeologists and historians with insight into the past. Shipwreck sites not only feature a vessel, a magnificent artifact, but they often hold cargo, personal items, tools, utensils, and other diagnostic artifacts. Shipwrecks humanize history.
Through the study of shipwrecks, cargoes, armaments, equipment, and personal possessions of the crews and passengers, archaeologists are gaining a better understanding of the important role of maritime commerce, exploration, and marine technology in shaping world history and human culture. Archaeological sites, on land and underwater, are cultural resources that have scientific, historical, educational, and recreational value. However, these resources are fragile and nonrenewable. Underwater archaeologists at the Wisconsin Historical Society are working to identify, preserve, protect, and provide access to submerged cultural resources. Many aspects of archaeology overlap with other subjects such as history, geology, science and sociology. To understand the evidence for human activities in the past, archaeologists have to ‘excavate’, or dig to uncover the buildings, rubbish, burials and anything else that may have been left by people in the past.
The excavations that archaeologists do are carefully planned.Everything they find is painstakingly recorded, drawn and photographed. Once the excavation has finished, all the records, drawings and photographs are examined along with the objects that have been uncovered, and archaeologists research what has happened on that site over time. Archaeologists don’t just work on land – there are also underwater archaeologists working all over the world on sites that have been sunk (shipwrecks) or covered by the sea as water levels have changed. ToolsArchaeologists have to use particular tools to excavate their sites. Some of these tools are very specialised and expensive, and some are very common and cheap to obtain. Exactly what tools are used depends on the size, location and type of soil on each site, and what is being dug up. Some tools are also designed for specific genders.

Definition: An archaeologist is a scientist who studies human history by digging up human remains and artifacts. The practice of archaeology is the study of human activity in the past through the recovery and analysis of the material culture and environmental data. |
