Archaeology
Lectures, visits and whole-day events are announced with the society's activities in the twice-yearly programme card and newsletter. These are arranged by the Archaeological Committee. The whole-day events can prove extremely popular, and members are advised to book in advance for them.

It is
not easy in
today's regulated and competitive climate to provide opportunities in
advance for individuals to take part in organised fieldwork and excavation.
Some opportunites are publicised in British Archaeological Briefing and
in Archaeology South West. Both journals can also be consulted in the
Society's room in the Library in Paul Street, Taunton. You can subscribe to both of these through national membership of the Council for British Archaeology. If you only want to subscribe to Archaeology South West, this is possible through regional membership; for this contact Jill Polak. For news of archaeological interventions which arise at shorter notice, the best idea is to enquire of the County Archaeologist in the Architectural and Historic Heritage Group of the County Council. The County Archaeologist is Bob Croft and the Assistant County Archaeologist is Chris Webster. Addresses for these three are given below. |
