Archaeological Research in Progress Conference

 

 

This annual conference, held on the last Saturday in May each year, is jointly run by Archaeology Scotland and the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, with Archaeology Scotland taking it ‘round the country’ every second year as part of our aim to promote archaeology to the wider public.  Archaeology Scotland became involved in the ARP in 1996 when we organised the conference outwith the central belt for the first time.  Since then the conference has been organised in Aberdeen (1996 and 2004), Dumfries (1998), Inverness (2000) Glasgow (2002), Perth (2006), Caithness (2008) and Glasgow (2010)

 

ARP is a national conference with a regional focus and has a number of aims:

 

to bring to as wide an audience as possible, the rich archaeological heritage of the area the conference is being held 

 

to bring together professional and amateur archaeologists, local societies, and individual

 

to highlight the wide range of research currently being undertaken

 

to allow the community to meet the experts working within the area

 

The 2010 conference took place in Glasgow and profiled work taking place in Glasgow and the surrounding region. Archaeology Scotland would like to extend its thanks to all who took part and supported ARP Glasgow 2010. The 2011 ARP Conference will be on Saturday 28th May in Edinburgh.
