Practical Archaeology Training Course in SeptemberPractical Archaeology Training Course at Down Farm, Sixpenny Handley September 5th – 9th and 12th – 16th2005 Following the success of last year, these five day courses will take place at Martin Green's farm on Cranbourne Chase – 'one of the most carefully studied areas in western Europe'. The Down Farm landscape includes parts of the Dorset Cursus and Ackling Dyke, Bronze Age barrows and Roman and Iron Age buildings. It is a rich, multi-period site in a wonderful setting. The Trust for Wessex Archaeology is one of the largest and most successful archaeological contractors operating in Britain today. One of the fundamental aims of the Trust is to increase the public's understanding and knowledge of archaeology. The course will include instruction and practice in site surveying, excavation recording (the production of both written records and scale drawings) and finds processing. During part of each day there will be lectures and workshops on environmental sampling, pottery analysis, faunal remains (bones) and surveying techniques. The course is suitable both for beginners and those with some experience.
