Every year the Society is invited to conduct a number of field projects. These usually involve geophysical survey and sometimes also excavation.<\/p>\n
The Society also has an active Study Group that is the focus of desktop research and interpretation of the archaeology of the Berkshire Region. To assist with this work it has developed a gazetteer. The results of our researches are published as essays grouped by project.<\/p>\n
Opportunities to take part will be emailed to members as projects are planned. No previous experience is required but if you have any particular skills they are always appreciated.<\/p>\n
If you have researched a local project that you would like the Society to assist with please contact\u00a0Andrew Hutt at projects(at)berksarch.co.uk<\/strong>. \u00a0For security we are not publishing email addresses as direct links.

\nIn 2015 BAS purchased a TAR-3 resistivity meter from R M Frobisher.\u00a0The mobile frame for this system weighs about 2kg, the same as a bag of sugar, and the electronics are modern and fast.\u00a0 Once we had taken delivery we spent three days on Streatley Meadows getting familiar with it and working with the developer to rewrite parts of the manual so it explains how to do things which are important to a geophysics surveyor, such a going back a traverse, rather than the capabilities of the machine. It has been used successfully on several recent projects.<\/p>\n
\nMaking an effective contribution to our local archaeology requires the use of both computer systems and teamwork.\u00a0 For this reason, over many years Andrew Hutt identified a portfolio of applications which have been used to support the Society\u2019s work.\u00a0 More recently, Tim Lloyd and Martin Labram have identified new applications to add.\u00a0Members may download a pdf<\/a> of a paper explaining the current portfolio and the uses of each application.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
