BARG runs a series of research projects across the county. Typically BARG projects are either focussed on the investigation of an individual site, or a particular interest throughout Berkshire.
The following menu provides links to some details on a number of projects previously run by the Group. Not all of the projects listed here are currently active, and most have already completed their fieldwork stages, but if you would like find out more about them, you will find contact details for the project leader at the foot of each project page.
Details on more recent or current projects run by the Group, where future fieldwork opportunities may be available, will be added to the website in due course.
