I have also spent a considerable amount of time working with the post-excavation department floating and sorting environmental samples, processing (cleaning, marking and quantification) finds for further analysis, managing the storage of samples and finds, assisting in the coordination of incoming and outgoing finds and soil samples, alongside packaging and transporting them. Tasks also include the preparation of site archives for museum deposition and liaison with internal specialists, field workers and project managers.

It also involved the curation of the other zooarchaeological collections.
