About the society - Membership

How to Join BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP The Cornwall Archaeological Society, with its roots extending back to the West Cornwall Field Club (founded in 1935), is the leading organisation for Cornwall's archaeologists, both amateur and professional. The benefits of membership include: WALKS Every month there is an archaeological walk somewhere in Cornwall led by one of our members or an invited expert. TALKS During the Winter months talks are given at centres in Truro and Liskeard by speakers, national and local (and including members) who are specialists in their field of interest. ACTIVITIES The Society gives opportunities for those interested in practical archaeology to participate in fieldwork and learn archaeological techniques from experts. Members often take part in excavations run by the Society and the Cornwall County Council's Historic Environment Service (HES). The Society and the HES work in partnership and members' contribution to the work of the HES is greatly appreciated. Recent activities have included field walking, identification of finds and registering them in the Historic Environment Register, archaeological illustration and excavation of a previously un-investigated site. JOURNAL AND NEWSLETTERS The Society produces three Newsletters a year, which contain news of Society activities, archaeological happenings, walks, talks, meetings, symposia and special events throughout Cornwall. An important membership benefit, this 8-page, A4-sized newsletter is packed full with interesting information for everyone with a love of Cornish archaeology. The Society's annual journal, Cornish Archaeology, is considered one of the best archaeological publications by a local society in the country. This reports on many of the archaeological happenings in Cornwall by members and others. FELLOWSHIP Meet like minded people that share your interest in Cornwall's heritage. How do I join ?
