About Us

About Archaeology Scotland

Archaeology Scotland is a key centre for knowledge and expertise for Scottish archaeology. We are a voluntary membership organisation that works to secure the archaeological heritage of Scotland for its people through education, promotion and support. We bring together those for whom archaeology is an interest, an active pastime or a career, support local archaeological action and initiatives and provide a comprehensive information service to all. Our key objectives are:

education, both formal and informal, concerning Scotland's archaeological heritage;

promotion of the conservation, management, understanding and enjoyment of, and access to, Scotland's archaeological heritage;

support through the provision of advice, guidance, resources and information relating to archaeology in Scotland.

The current Strategic Plan gives a little bit more history of the organisation, achievements to date and the key objectives to be met between now and 2013.
