Association of Certificated Field Archaeologists
A group of ACFA members had a fruitful trip last week (March 28-30) surveying in the Halterburn Valley, Kirk Yetholm. Over two days a number of sites were added to the known record and previously noted sites were drawn. Among the sites recorded were a number of prehistoric platform settlements bearing evidence for small roundhouses. The weather got the better of the team and the final day was abandoned but there are plans to return in March 2019 to continue the survey of the valley.
The winners of the annual photography competition were announced at 
the recent AGM and lunch. First place and winner of the quaich was Irene Dayer, who also took second place. Dugie MacInnes and Sue Hothersall shared third place while Dorothy Gormlie won the members’ vote and the accompanying woollie hat.
The 2017 members’ annual general meeting will be held on Saturday October 28 at 12.30pm at the GCVS Albany Centre, Ashley Street, Glasgow. The AGM will be followed by a buffet lunch after which there will be an opportunity for members to share recent archaeological activities as well as the announcement of the winners of the annual photography compentition. A booking form can be found in the Members’ Area.
