Seminar anouncement
The Underground Archaeology of Mining:
A Hidden Resource
A one-day seminar on the Underground Archaeology of Mining to be held in the
Yorkshire Dales at Grassington on October 11th 2003.
The seminar will raise awareness of the wealth of archaeological
information, which survives underground and is currently playing a very
small part in the understanding of one of the oldest and most continuous
industries in the UK. Case studies will include a range of sites including
metal mines and underground stone quarries.
Aimed at those involved in underground exploration and recording and those
responsible for the management of archaeological sites and information; the
seminar will explore main three themes:
· What exists underground?
· Why should underground sites be recorded?
· Approaches to recording underground sites.
