In 2015 we had a movie made of the Sherwood Forest Archaeological Training Excavation
About the movie:
The video was made by our dear friend Paul Bobrucki Photography (Please see his website at: http://paulbobphoto.smugmug.com/ ) one of Mercian Archaeological Services CIC's volunteers!
The video stars many of the students from that years course giving sparkling testimonials!!!
You can find out more here about Mercian’s Sherwood Forest Archaeological Training Field School and other field courses.
This is not an ordinary field school -
As well as all the above you will learn about the history and archaeology of Sherwood Forest, and also about the designed royal hunting landscape and Palace at its heart. Mercian Archaeological Services CIC run the Sherwood Forest Archaeology Project and are at the leading edge of research into this landscape of legends…
All techniques are taught and experienced throughout the week, with hands on training from our Archaeological experts.
Field Days include lunch provided by our field caterers which will be eaten in our welfare area in the field.
Hands on learning and training is supplemented with lunchtime seminars covering many of the subjects above to provide the theory behind the practice.
Come and join our week long Sherwood Forest Archaeological Training Field School at King John’s Palace.
You will receive training and experience in:
Excavation,
Stratigraphy,
Contexts records,
Recording,
Drawing,
Photography,
Pottery identification,
Finds handling,
Finds processing,
Surveying and levelling,
and much more…
