We have now finalised the dates for the test-pitting in a field near Arbor Low. This phase of the project will run from 26th March – 7th April 2012, and will attempt to ascertain whether the spread of material recovered from field-walking is true representation of past activity or whether archaeology towards the bottom of the field has been hidden by colluvium and other deposits. We intend to dig approximately 125 1m x 1m pits! Members of ARTEAMUS have signed up to help as ha

I am now a member of ARTEAMUS and very pleased about it too! What is ARTEAMUS? I hear you say. Well, as is explained on the website: “ARTEAMUS is a collective archaeological research organisation which operates in and around the Peak District National Park.  We exist to promote archaeological research to enable a better public understanding of archaeology and the historic landscapes of the region.” #Archaeology #ARTEAMUS #PeakDistrict #research
