In preparation for the Oystermouth Castle community archaeology project GGAT staff have been carrying out a topograhic survey of the grounds around the castle. This type of surveying technique measures the elevation of points on a particular area of land and plots the results as contour lines on a map. From this survey we can get a good picture of the varied topography around the castle which will also help us plan for future projects and possible excavations.
Helping us with the survey is a school student from Modena, Italy who is with us for two weeks on a work experience placement. This is an excellent training opportunity for Nina who hopes to study archaeology at degree level.
