Ask the Experts: Archaeology Fact Finding Conference
On Saturday22nd March 2014, the SCAPE Trust is hosting an Archaeology Fact Finding Event in Glasgow. Designed for all those who have an interest in and take part in archaeology and heritage in a non-professional capacity, this one-off event will give you the opportunity to get up to speed with the incredible range of techniques, specialisms and services across the sector and meet the experts and practitioners face to face.
The day will be structured into 2 parts: short presentations throughout the morning and timed surgeries in the afternoon where you will be able to find out more about specific techniques and services, discuss project ideas and meet specialists and contractors.
The event will be held at the Western General Lecture Theatre and more information can be found at SCHARP’s website.
Scottish Coastal Heritage At Risk Project (SCHARP) Workshop
A group of ACFA members attended this interesting day which began with a classroom introduction to the website. An interactive map gives access to the data from various coastal assessments with links to site records and the ability to view in satellite mode which gives a good view of your chosen site. We were shown how to record changes to an existing record or report new sites. The afternoon was spent on the southern shore of the Clyde under the Erskine Bridge learning how to use the smart phone app in the field.
