ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SKILLS TRAINING

ESAMP carries out a range of archaeological and historical research. Full support and training is given for participants in this research programme. Currently ESAMP is involved with the detailed recording of the churchyards in Lewes. This involves the mapping, photographing and recording of all the churchyard monuments. This field data is entered into databases so that the information can be interpreted. The fieldwork is complimented by a programme of historical research of all the relevant documentary sources. The finished surveys are then collated and published.

ESAMP also carries out training in experimental archaeological techniques. This involves the observation and recording of archaeological material, the design of experimental research programmes and the carrying out of practical experiments. This approach allows participants to recreate archaeological material within a scientific framework. This training is offered to ESAMP trainees, members of the public, students from Sussex University and the Institute of Archaeology.
