Archaeology Safaris - Field Trips, Field Schools and Expeditions.
Archaeology Safaris is a limited company run by Archaeologists
and has provided field trips to a variety of destinations
since 2001. These journeys back through time concentrate
on visiting pre-historic sites and monuments that help tell
the story of Human development over thousands of years.
The periods investigated are mainly the Neolithic (or new
stone age), Bronze Age and Iron Age, although in some cases
the field trips include evidence of Human activity dating
back many thousands of years to the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic
periods. In small groups accompanied by Archaeologists these
trips explore the settlement areas, burial monuments and
ritual landscapes that were all important to these ancient
people. Discovering the skills and technologies that enabled
them to live in settled communities, develop agriculture,
express themselves in the form of Rock Art and join together
to build huge stone and earthen monuments.
Aims and Research:
Archaeology Safaris conduct these field trips to encourage
those with a genuine interest in Archaeology, to look at
monuments and landscapes and
experience them whilst listening to Archaeologists talk
about the evidence that helps us theorise about how our
ancestors lived. The aim of Archaeology
Safaris is to provide field trips with first class information
about Archaeology in Britain & Europe, while raising
the funding, expertise and
people to research Rock Art on expeditions and projects
within Europe and North Africa.
Archaeology Safaris has made new rock carving discoveries
in Wales and Cumbria, while conducting field trips in these
regions. These finds are currently
being recorded and researched in preparation for publication
in the near future. Archaeology Safaris is also actively
collaboration with other Rock Art
projects in an effort to maximise its research capability,
as well as encouraging all those that attend field trips
to submit information to the Megalithic Portal.
Archaeology Safaris Ltd provides the organisation for all
travel requirements, accommodation and the day to day itinerary,
driving you safely in the appropriate vehicles through the
landscapes and to the monuments of interest. You can get
involved as an individual or as an organisation and either
