If you haven’t done so already click ‘favourites’ and add us to your list - much easier to find again another day. Together with the Newsletter we will endeavour to keep you up to date with anything archaeological in the region and, of course, keep you abreast of  news and events within PDAS.
The current photo gallery is only a starting point and is dependent on members or visitors submitting photos to add to the existing galleries or create new ones.
Similarly, this news page is open to articles (text and photos) that you consider newsworthy and relevant to the aims of PDAS.
