Lindsay by Jenny and Bryoni

Lindsay Allason-Jones is the Museum Director, she has many assistants including a Secretary and a Technician.
Lindsay is a very busy person and she works on many special projects to make people come to the Museum more often.
Lindsays described her best and worst moments in the Museum. Her best moments in the Museum are looking at new finds, and her worst are when she has to prepare the budgets.
She says, "being in charge of the Museum is a very hard job because you are responsible for everything from money to seeing all the jobs are done properly."

Favourite Artefact
Lindsay chose this antler hoe from South Shields, Tyne and Wear. It isn't the most exciting looking object in the Museum but she thinks it's interesting because it looks like a tool for gardening rather than farming. She likes the idea that someone in Roman times was creating a garden. Romans enjoyed growing flowers as well as vegetables and used their gardens as an extra room to entertain guests in nice weather.
