Event - Community Archaeology Handbook - Workshop (Notts)

As part of the Trent Vale project Nottinghamshire Community Archaeology are looking at producing a Community Archaeology Handbook; a guide book, written by the community to help groups and individuals get ideas for projects and carry them out.  The guide will cover a wide range of topics including;

• documentary research
• map regression
• field walking
• geophysics
• excavation
• oral history
• publicity
• health and safety
• report writing
• project design
• interpretation

They are looking for people who might be interested in contributing to this guide, and writing parts for it.  You don't need to have any experience as they will put on training sessions for many topics, so this is a great opportunity to learn something new or brush up on skills you already have, and share your knowledge with like-minded people.  

If you are interested in finding out more then Community Archaeology invite you to come along to one of the consultation workshops they have organised at the end of January.  If you would like to come along, please RSVP as soon as possible to this email, or via phone on 0115 977 2160.  Places are limited and will be on first-come-first-served basis.
