Both Michael and Ross make an excellent point. I will think about establishing a group dedicated to the exchange, donation, and sale of archaeology-related resources for our membership. I have yet to receive feedback on this issue from other members, so I will wait to hear from them before I decide on the appropriate vehicle for this kind of thing. Thanks for your ideas!

Drinks are always good, I have a ton to do before we go so finding time may be a little tricky, but I'm sure we could figure something out.

I think you're right, one of the main attractions to archaeology for me was that it did seem to cross so many borders and cultures. It's great to be able to work on projects jointly with institutions and other archaeologists from all over the globe.

It's the old cliché about variety being the spice of life, i think...

It's pretty difficult to know where to start with archaeology in Scotland. It's pretty wide-ranging. Chronologically, most research probably goes back to the mesolithic (lots of shell middens and lithic scatter, but acid soils tend to kill of a lot of other stuff), then through neolithic sites like Skara Brae in Orkney (Childe really kick-started the research there), loads through the Bronze and Iron age (hillforts, crannogs, amongst other things). The cultural mix is nice, with Pictish, Roman, Viking influences in abundance, and I suppose our historical archaeology runs from Roman, through Medieval, to now (with everything in between!)

Despite this, I've mostly dug in Scandinavia so far, but I'm digging in Scotland this summer (Neolithic cursus through to Iron Age Hillfort...and probably a few things between!)

I'm sure I've only just scratched the surface of things worth mentioning, but there's a bit of an abundance of archaeology. A lot of the research focus here is also aimed at the rest of the UK and Europe...in Glasgow we have strong research projects in the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe. We've also recently had the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology set up in conjunction with the University and its CRM company (GUARD - Glasgow University Archaeological Research Division).

Right, I'd better stop typing or I'll be here all night. Hope this gave you a bit of a snapshot of what's going on here!
