GEORGE ALFRED HOLLEYMAN (1910-2004)
George Holleyman, who owned a well-known antiquarian bookshop in Duke Street, Brighton, was a respected amateur archaeologist. George’s extensive fieldwork in Sussex is recorded in his many publications (1934-1976). He joined the Sussex Archaeological Society in 1946, serving on its Council from 1948-1984, after which he was a vice-president from 1987.
​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 will be featured in this year’s George Holleyman Archaeology Online Lecture on Monday 27 April at 7.30pm (see details above)
