Nottinghamshire Community Archaeology are running a geophysical survey training week at Willoughby Deserted Medieval Village (DMV) by Norwell, from the 27th of February to the 2nd March- there is a possibility of Saturday the 3rd of March, but that will be confirmed one way or the other shortly.
Please
get in touch with them if you wish to attend any of the days mentioned. Places
are fairly limited due to the amount equipment- so booking is essential.
The
training is the first session in fieldwork being offered as part of the
Community Archaeology handbook, so people attending would be encouraged
to share their experiences with us in some way so that we can begin
work on that chapter.
The survey is being undertaken by Peter Masters of Cranfield University. As well as leading the survey he will be contributing the professional’s element of the chapter.
This
is a great opportunity to gain an insight into using the equipment, the
logistics of fieldwork and the standards and guidance of the
profession- as well as being immense fun!!!
The geophysics follows on from the topographic survey undertaken by the Community Archaeologists a few years ago:
and it will hopefully provide us with some answers – and further questions regarding this fascinating site.
The site is located a few miles north of the village of Norwell on the side of the road to Carlton on Trent.
More information when you book a place.
Many
other opportunities to get involved will also be coming soon with
survey training, test-pitting, field walking and excavation all planned
for the next few months.
Please let them know if you wish to attend the geophysics in February.
