COVID 19

As Covid 19 measures are eased we are now starting to begin fieldwork once again, but at reduced team sizes for the time being, as health and safety is important for our members. Make sure to look out for field and post-excavation opportunities via the Wiltshire Museum email.

Welcome


​Welcome to the website of the Wiltshire Archaeology Field Group (WAFG).

The WAFG exists as a not-for-profit unit to offer members of the Wiltshire Archaeological & Natural History Society (WANHS), based at the Wiltshire Museum, opportunities to participate in fieldwork across the county of Wiltshire. Our archaeological fieldwork can include excavation, geophysical survey, ground survey (e.g topographic survey), building surveys and field-walking. 
The WAFG is managed by a group of experienced archaeologists with many varied research interests, everything from prehistoric sites to Cold War archaeology. We can even support you if you wish to manage your own project tailored to your own interests in archaeology.

The WAFG members also assist with excavation and fieldwork projects organised by other bodies, for example with Wessex Archaeology and Broad Town Archaeology. Our members have also taken part in excavations and research at Marden Henge, Vale of Pewsey, led by Doctor Jim Leary of the University of Reading; the Hillfort Atlas Survey, led by the University of Oxford; and the Landscapes of Governance Project, led by Professor Andrew Reynolds of UCL.

The WAFG helps organise the yearly successful Archaeology in Wiltshire Conference, which began in 2012. The Conference is now back in 2022 at the Corn Exchange in Devizes.

We offer and pursue a wide variety of projects concentrating on a wide range of archaeological and historical periods. If fieldwork is not your primary interest, we do carry out a range of post-excavation work including the cleaning, sorting and classifying of finds, writing up of archaeological reports and training days, for example pottery identification and recognition.

This site is constantly updated, so to keep up to date make sure you visit us regularly or join us on Facebook.
