Training

Training Practical Archaeological Skills Training (PAST) Training events are planned which will focus on topics members should find useful if taking part in field work, excavation or post-excavation work; these are open to all who are interested. Key themes will include (a) identification of artefacts (b) understanding the processes of excavation and post-excavation (c) field walking (d) surveying. The provision of events which help members participate more effectively in archaeological activities, or to understand these activities and their results, is an important aspect of the Society's work. Presently under review.
