We attended the CAS conference on Saturday and made a joint presentation introducing the Jigsaw Project. It generated a lot of interest and we met many new people when manning the Jigsaw stand throughout the rest of the day.
Many people picked up copies of our affiliation guidelines and application form. We will be uploading them on to the website in the near future, but in the meantime, please contact us for copies.

We had a great time on the Eltisley Moats Project from Wednesday to Saturday last week!
This was a project funded by English Heritage and organised by David Crawford-White as a community archaeology venture. Eltisley Local History Group, Newton Primary School and students from Hills Road Sixth Form and the Perse School were involved.
The Jigsaw team went along to help and find out more about how to run community excavations....
A fantastic time was had by all (and very interesting archaeology uncovered). Our image gallery contains a few photos from the dig, and the landowner also has some excellent photos.
