We are well into the process of building our programme for 2010.  We have some details to finalise, and we will keep this site updated.  In the meantime, here are some dates for your diary

 January 12, 2010         Chris Burgess will bring us up to date on Flodden Field, describing the battle and its context.  7:30, Thropton Village Hall

February 11                 Roger Miket on the Archaeology of Skye.  7:30 Rothbury Jubilee Hall (venue to be confirmed)

February 13                 Fontburn walk with Ian Colquhoun; a continuation of the 2009 walk.  There will be a nominal charge for this.  Meet at 10am in the Fontburn car park

March 20                     Bronze Age Funerary Practices will be the subject of a talk by Chris Fowler from Newcastle University.  We may couple this with a visit to Lordenshaws. 

April 8                         Richard Carlton on the Border Roads – a survey of Clennell Street, The Street, Dere Street and even the A697!

May 8                          Abandoned Places – a workshop with Colm O’Brien.  10:30 Rothbury Jubilee Hall – Dovecote Room

We are hoping to arrange a number of additional talks on subjects such as the Cragside Bridge, as well as another family event (this time in Thropton) for the February half term.  There may also be some field walking opportunities at Flodden in the New Year, as well as a dig in early September.  More details will follow.  For more information on Coquetdale Community Archaeology – including reports and articles, visit our main site.
