The Society is a registered charity (No. 504513) and is entirely dependent on the support of it's members and friends. You can help us by becoming a member, making a donation or volunteering.

Archaeology is a way of studying the past based on the remains of things that earlier people left behind or discarded. These remains include both the objects of people long ago, called artifacts, and the buildings, structures and landscapes where people lived, known as sites. Archaeological sites can be found anywhere where humans have stayed, lived or worked in the past. By carefully collecting and examining the evidence from a site, archaeologists help us to understand how our ancestors met the challenges of life in the past.

 

Archaeology's quest for the past occurs not just in far-off locations, but right in our own back yards. You can become part of this challenging field of archaeology and make Rotherham's past come alive. JOIN US NOW!
