Getting involved with Research
Fieldwork is a very small part of an archaeological project. Initial research and post fieldwork analysis helps to gain the maximum information from a site. We encourage any help from the public and we are happy to assist with personal research where we can.
Non-fieldwork includes:
- Research
- Drawing up plans/artefacts
- Cataloguing and archiving
- Organising our photos and slides
- Trips to libraries and public record offices
- Talking to people to build up our record of local knowledge
- Looking at charts/maps
- Adding more records to our maritime sites and monument record
Volunteers draw up artefacts recovered during SolMAP 2003
If you have a particular skill or interest that you feel could help please get in contact via telephone, (023) 8023 7300 or email info@hwtma.org.uk. We have various projects which require help at the moment.
We will also try to assist in any area of interest that you are exploring through access to our previous work or identifying potential contacts and routes of enquiry.
