This bloke was stood motionless on the Arndale steps as the wheel went round. By the time I got my camera ready though he'd moved off, but one friendly request later and he very kindly stood still again (in the freezing cold!) for a couple of minutes while I took some shots.

Archaeology with the community!

Wed, 02/12/2009 - 10:10 — sadmike

Hand with treasure

Archaeology with the community!
There is a new Research Centre for Applied Archaeology at the University of Salford (but based in the CUBE building on Portland Street in Manchester).

The work of the Centre includes involving people from local communities, helping them to learn more about the history of their locality, and the chance to be trained in archaeological techniques. This might also be an interesting way to encourage both physical activity and learning!

If any local community group or school wants to know more, or become involved in digging up the past, they should contact:

Mike Nevell (Head of Archaeology) m.d.nevell@salford.ac.uk or Brian Grimsditch (Community Archaeologist) b.grimsditch@salford.ac.uk
