The Berkshire Archaeology Research Group is one of the few active voluntary sector organisations doing archaeology fieldwork in Berkshire. The Group is pleased to work with individuals and local history and heritage societies and groups to help them investigate their local archaeology.
When working with an individual or a local history or heritage group or society, BARG members will meet with them to identify the extent and nature of the archaeology to be investigated and then produce a plan for a joint project: where BARG members will provide archaeological capabilities in a way which encourages local group or society members to join in.
BARG Capabilities:
When operating such projects BARG is able to provide:
- Project management and planning
- Surveys of existing documents undepinning the project
- Fieldwalking
- Hedgerow surveying
- Geophysics surveying: using a resistivity meter or a magnetometer
- Building surveying
- Post-excavation processing and documentation
If you believe you have some interesting archaeology, which you would like us to investigate using the above techniques, then contact us by email: mail@barg-online.org or via the ‘Contact us’ page. Please note that BARG does not deal with investigations required for development proposals, which should be referred to professional sector archaeological contractors.
