Programme for 2008/9.

Saturday, 29th November 2008: 1400hrs at Claremont for our Xmas meeting:-

"Traversing the Pennines - New Sites along the Gas Pipeline between Lancaster and Goole"
We will have two presentations on this unique trans-Pennine archaeological traverse:
- Stuart Noon, Patrick Daniel and Simon Jeffery of Network Archaeology will talk on 'The Deep Road Through the Long North: Archaeological Investigation of the Pannal to Nether Kellet Gas Pipeline and the Aberford Dykes Scheduled Monuments’
- Fraser Brown of Oxford Archaeology North will then tell us about their discoveries along the Pannel to Asselby section of the same gas pipeline during 2007/8.

 

Saturday, 7th March 2009: 1400hrs at Claremont for our AGM, preceded by:-

“Prehistoric Houses and Households: Recent Work in Northern Britain”
Dr Rachel Pope, Lecturer in Prehistoric Archaeology, University of Liverpool will brief us on the latest developments in settlement archaeology in the region.

NB: Readers of 'Current Archaeology' may have noted that Issue No222 had articles a) from Network Archaeology on their pipeline excavations (p33-39), b) from WYAS on their work at Easington (p40-44) and c) from Rachel Pope on her Roundhouse project (p14-21) - so there can be little doubt that Yorkshire archaeology is currently very active and that our 2008-9 programme (as above) will be 'cutting edge'.
