Archaeology
Summer 2010
DAYSCHOOL:
So you want to run your own archaeological project - but how?
DAYSCHOOL, 4 June 2010
Birgitta Hoffmann
Being an archaeologist, regardless if you are paid or unpaid has many different areas of competence, but once you have served your time and are a competent 'digger' many would like to look into running their own small projects. Unfortunately, many soon find out that in addition to organising the tools and fellow enthusiasts there is a whole raft of things to remember, some you may have never dreamt off, when you set out.
This course would like to offer you the chance of finding out, what you need to be aware of to be able to gain meaningful data and enjoy your own command. Together with Lecturers from the IFA Finds Group and Wilmslow Community Archaeology we are going to talk you through Research Designs, Scheduled Monument Consent, Landowners, Health and Safety, Funding and Costs, Insurance, as well as Finds Recording and processing, as well as the time-scales involved, and hopefully give you plenty of opportunity to ask your own questions.
Requirements:
Please note, this course assumes that you are an experienced fieldworker. Independent archaeological fieldwork should not be undertaken without prior training both for the sake of the archaeology, but especially yourself, as archaeology can be dangerous.
Dayschool: Friday, June 4th, 2010 Time: 10.30-4.30 pm
Venue:
Wilmslow Parish Hall
Cliff Road, Wilmslow
Please note: The car park is now a pay and display car park.

DAYSCHOOL, 3 June 2010

Since the first reports of its appearance the Staffordshire Hoard has been firing up the imagination of archaeologists an non-archaeologists alike. In addition there are endless comparisons with Sutton Hoo. This dayschool is going to offer the chance of having a closer look at the new finds and compare it with parallels from Sutton Hoo an elsewhere and find out what these beautiful fragments were and perhaps why the find is so important.
Literature: Kevin Leahy and R.Bland, The Staffordshire Hoard (British Museum 2009)
