​Thanks to all of you who were able to join us, either in person or online at our Sussex Archaeology Symposium on 21st March
CONGRATULATIONS to the Farm Green Dig Project, which won the new Sussex Archaeology Poster Display Award at our recent Sussex Archaeology Symposium in Lewes.
​​​
The £100 prize will be awarded to the Brighton Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC) to support youth involvement in archaeology in Sussex. Thank you to everyone who entered a Poster Display. This initiative, inspired by the Surrey Archaeological Society, is something we at Sussex Archaeology & History hope to continue in future years.
​
The dissemination of archaeological research should extend beyond formal publication to include activities such as poster and finds displays, lectures, and other forms of public engagement.
​
Another excellent Poster Display at the Symposium highlighted the results of fieldwalking in the High Weald. This project was featured in this year’s George Holleyman Archaeology Online Lecture on Monday 27 April (see online archaeology lectures for more details)
