Supervisor meeting notes - 2021-06-14
Kate and Mark present
Roman Baths Foundation Funding
Email Stephen to arrange a chat while I am at Bath
Only he can answer questions like how much money should I apply for, can expenses be justified by RBF, is this political or practical? etc.
Would be good to go through idea for York Street CBM project with him and see if he thinks it feasible and/or preferable
How long would it take? Objectives? Salary?
Easiest route would be through BU alone, and have more than enough money in student pot
Ultimate decision rests with me, but would be valuable experience
is there anything else I can spend the money on to justify it, whether equipment, training etc?
Get an application drafted ASAP as should be straight forward and good experience, will be conditional on SMC but will include application to them as evidence
External examiner response
Asked if he is appropriate given archaeological science elements of thesis
Kate will reply with thesis plan or other appropriate response
Go through abstracts to find most recent submission, which may reassure him
Likely supervised Sara Machin, and also have Sarah Elliott as another reviewer, so should be fine
Writing progress
Get second half of chapter finished for saturday (if not before)
Rework abstracts if none suitable for submission to Mike Fulford
Thesis word count
On 59k so far
Archaeology theses squarely in 80-90k range, so on track to be in that rangeish
Don't worry about word count right now, as can be sorted later
Leaves only 30k (at very maximum!) for methods, results, discussion and conclusion though!
Progress with CBM analysis
possible Eccles material, though perhaps unlikely
Legionary(?) connections to CBM from Caerleon for moulding bricks and pipes
Westhampnett voussoirs appear to be distinct phase of production at Minety, though far from certain
Took a range of photos of unique features with digital microscope but Maurice could not identify them
More analysis in Bath this week, hoping to get remainder of CBM there completed
