Our Thursday evening meetings, held in the University of
Bristol's Archaeology
Department (number 43), are jolly affairs with gripping lectures
followed by lashings of free wine to assist the flow of hearty archaeological
debate. Once nibbles and wine have been demolished, debaters and drinkers
toddle over to the Highbury Vaults to continue the edification of
their peers (who sometimes need more than just a snifter to appreciate
fully the superiority of one's argument).

ArchSoc is open to all!! Don't feel you
have to be a smelly archaeologist to be a member!
"The need to understand ourselves, to discover the truth about
our past, is a basic human characteristic" (LEAKEY, R.E. 1981.THE
MAKING OF MANKIND)

With the help of the department and their trusty Land
Rovers we will also be exploring the region on exciting jaunts to
places of interest - Stone Circles, Neolithic Long Barrows, Roman
Villas, caves - you know the sort of thing. These are especially
valuable to first year students, and also allow non-Archaeology students
to experience the fun of a day out!
