Getting Involved

There are many ways to get involved in archaeology and it is not necessary to be an expert to take an interest in the subject. Involvement can range from joining a local archaeology society to becoming an active volunteer, participating in national projects or simply visiting archaeological sites and attending talks and conferences.

If you would like to get involved in the Scottish archaeological scene, a good first step is to become a member of CSA.
