I haven’t got to that one yet, had a good nose around the Buster website but not too many details on practical elements.
As for the budget, it is large but not under my control. My activity forms one of many over the long weekend which as of yet I'm unsure what will consist of. In the past they've done metal working, flint knapping, animal butchery, grain storage, weaving etc.
The aim of the whole exercise is to give brand new undergraduates the chance to first get to know each other but also understand some of the archaeological processes that they may have or will see in the future in their course. Therefore I don't have to stick to strict experimental l framework and I think chopping down trees might take too long!!
Is there any other good texts to look at for the more practical side of doing something like this or does that defeat the [purpose of it in the first place? Maybe I should be a bit more flexible?
