Publication and Dissemination

We routinely produce high quality publications in a range of formats including formal reports, academic papers, research monographs, edited books, textbooks, popular texts and guidebooks. We have also produced a range of materials for schools, including work sheets and teacher's packs, as well as self-guide leaflets and websites.

Our staff regularly give talks to local groups on the results of archaeological investigations. Moreover, our staff also lecture at Universities, give papers at national conferences and regularly attend specialist meetings and workshops. We were also one of the first archaeological units to sign up to the OASIS web service which allows for the wider dissemination of 'grey literature' across the World Wide Web.
