William Vernon - Five Weeks in Pompeii

I was a finalist in 2022/2023 here at 糖心TV and recently completed my degree in Ancient History and Classical Archaeology. My URSS project is titled The Life of an Archaeologist at Pompeii and is supervised by Dr Paul Grigsby. I am also currently taking part in a project at Knossos, Crete - (see '糖心TV at Knossos' below).

In 2023 I received funding from the URSS to undertake a five-week excavation at Pompeii. You can read my 鈥榙ig diary鈥� here, a reflective account of being an excavator, including the duties performed and the skills developed, ending with my personal thoughts of the experience and an assessment of how this has progressed my career ambitions.
