Cornwall Archaeological Society

Covid 19 Update

I am happy to report that our AGM on 17^th April took place very successfully on Zoom, followed by a superb series of talks about the work of the late Roger Mercer. For those members who were unable to join us on Zoom that day, the lectures are available on this website, and a brief summary of their content can be found in the latest Newsletter, also available on line. Our lectures on line have proved very popular so I can announce that here will be a special series of talks on Zoom specifically on Cornish archaeology this winter, as well as face-to-face lectures when we get the go-ahead. Our first guided walk is also scheduled for 6^th June – details on the website and the latest Newsletter.

A significant decision taken at the AGM was to experiment with issuing one Newsletter a year electronically, to save printing and postage costs. To receive this issue, and the frequent email updates through the year, we will need your email addresses and permission to use them. Please forward these to our Membership Secretary at membership@cornisharchaeology.co.uk

Cornwall Archaeological Society

Welcome to everyone interested in the archaeology of Cornwall and Scilly.

For over 50 years our Society has been the principal archaeological organization in Cornwall and Scilly. The Society acts as the forum that brings together amateur archaeologists, professional archaeologists and all those interested in Cornwall’s past and the preservation of its archaeological heritage.

Today, with over 450 members, our activities are varied and inclusive. The society arranges over a dozen talks, monthly walks and annual conferences and special events. We also run our own fieldwork and research projects and encourage members to take part with likeminded organisations. Our annual journal is a well-respected, peer reviewed publication, and has for more than 50 years published the majority of archaeological research projects carried out in Cornwall and Scilly. Our regular newsletter keeps members up to date on news of people, events and activities.

Our Area Representatives are stationed across the county, keeping track of sites and monuments, and offering a local point of contact.

Please explore our website, find out about us and how you can join us, explore the archaeology of your area, and become more involved.
