A society for archaeology and local history in Gloucestershire


Whether you are interested in the archaeology or local history of Gloucestershire, join us and help to discover the past. Whatever your skill level you can participate in excavations, fieldwalking, geophysical surveying, document research and historic building recording. There are lectures and site visits to attend and help and advice on finds processing and pottery, coin and artifact identification and recording.

    Our activities include:-
    • Identifying and recording sites of archaeological interest of all periods - prehistoric, Roman and medieval.

    • Helping with excavations as and when they become available, whether our own or others in the county.

    • Archaelogical fieldwork activities such as fieldwalking, geophysics and land surveying.

    • Learning how to identify and process finds.

    • Surveying historic buildings by detailed drawings and photography.

    • Undertaking research using old maps and documents.

    • Being kept informed of such work in Gloucestershire by means of newsletters and the annual journal Glevensis.

    • Regular winter meetings in Gloucester and Cheltenham on a wide range of archaeological and local history topics.

    • Summer visits to excavations and places of historical interest.
