An Archaeology of the East Midlands

There are many things that are unique and special about the East Midlands region; its varied topography from the uplands of the Peak District to the Trent Valley and its hugely varied archaeology, from Ice Age hunters to the birth of industry.  This class aims to provide students with an introduction to the archaeology of the East Midlands from the end of the last Ice Age to the modern Era. Focusing particularly on the archaeology of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, classes will explore some of the concepts of archaeological study of the past, give students a broad appreciation of the region’s past and introduce practical skills in archaeological research.  

Taught on behalf of the WEA and running over nine weeks from the 1st October 2014 this class takes place at the Grange Community Centre, Radcliffe on Trent, Nottingham, between 7.30pm and 9pm.  Further details including on-line enrolment are available here.
