As well as the field trips, Archaeology Safaris has ongoing field work projects and also
collaborates with other Archaeology projects, details of
each one are as follows:

The Anglesey Rock-Art Project (ARAP) began with a field trip in June 2004 with part-time students from Bristol University and our discovery on the first day of cup-marks on a rock outcrop within 250m of the Bryn Celli Ddu passage-grave. A significant discovery we return on field work trips on a regular basis and have found more Rock Art at other sites including Barclodiad y Gawes.

Northumberland and Durham Rock Art Project
What is the Rock Art Project?
Nationally, rock art remains one of the more neglected aspects
of British archaeology. In 2000, the Rock Art Pilot Project
(RAPP) report, commissioned by English Heritage, concluded
that not only is British rock art undervalued and understudied,
it is also is under considerable threat and may be disappearing
at an alarming rate. This report stressed the urgent need
for systematic documentation of the engravings across Britain
as a crucial first step towards improving protection, access
and understanding.
The Rock Art Project is a two year pilot project based in
Northumberland and Durham which will build on the extensive
work already completed in Northumberland. If you would like
to join Archaeology Safaris as a volunteer to help in the
search for Rock Art and other Archaeology sites over weekend
field exercises, then please contact us
