Archeoscan provides opportunities for public involvement in archaeology. Our most popular
activity is giving people the chance to participate in an excavation at exciting sites in the Cotswolds area. We also assist communities in conducting geophysical surveys of sites of interest to
them. Equally, we visit schools and colleges in support of the national curriculum to provide hands-on experiences of archaeology
Online Archaeology Presentations
As we cannot get out and dig at the moment we have decided to bring some archaeology to you.
We will be giving a series of online presentations on some of our archaeological projects and other related
subjects over the coming months.
During the fourth of these presentations I will be telling you about:
The Vikings in the Severn Estuary. During this talk I will be presenting evidence of the viking presence in the Severn Estuary
using evidence from the Anglo-Saxon Charters, metal-detecting finds, place names and other evidence. We will also look at the excavations we conducted at Miserden, Gloucestershire that came up
as part of the study into Vikings in the Region.
The presentation will start at 1930 on Wednesday 15th July 2020. Cost £6. (1.5
hours)
The presentation will be streamed live via the Zoom platform.
To book a place for the presentation please contact Archeoscan on archeoscan@hotmail.co.uk. You will be
sent instructions on how to pay and to receive your log on details for the presentation.
I hope that you will be able to join us for this presentation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CORONAVIRUS
During these unprecedented times, the health and well-being of our customers, our
team and our landowners are our top priority.
We are closely monitoring the Government guidelines and are following any
instructions issued. We have not had any cases among our staff at present and we are not aware of any cases among our customers.
The Government has advised that non-essential travel and social contact is
minimised. Therefore, with the health and safety of everyone involved in our projects in mind we have had to take some important decisions regarding digs currently planned for 2020. Each
of our digs is different in context with travel and meeting arrangements. With that in mind we have made the following decisions. All digs have been postponed. We are monitoring the
situation and will update our decision regarding any new dates for the digs as soon as we can. Those already booked on digs have already been contacted individually.
We will keep all our diggers informed about any future programmes as we move
forward.
