Archaeology Scotland
Archaeology Scotland, formerly known as the Council for Scottish Archaeology (CSA) is a membership organisation which seeks to promote the understanding of archaeology in Scotland.
Activities
Archaeology Scotland provides a variety of relevant services and information, including educational resources and publications. The group co-ordinates a number of initiatives including Scottish Archaeology Month, which takes place every September as part of European Heritage Days.[1] Hundreds of free archaeological and heritage themed events take place all over Scotland, allowing people to view usually unseen artefacts and sites.[2] Archaeology Scotland also organises the annual Archaeological Research in Progress conference in partnership with the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.[3]
Background and structure
The organisation began as a branch of the Council for British Archaeology, established in 1944. The Council for Scottish Archaeology became an independent body in 1988, and was reconstituted as a limited company in 2004. The name Archaeology Scotland was adopted in 2008.[4]
Archaeology Scotland is a registered Scottish charity,[5] and is dependent on the subscriptions and donations of supporters, grants from Historic Scotland, and trusts and foundations.
