It's the time of the year when we plan the training courses for the next year. If you are involved in the project and live in Cambridgeshire, we would be interested in hearing your views on which courses we should run in 2015. The survey can be found here, please complete by Friday 24th October.

As summer draws to a close, Jigsaw has some great training courses coming up this autumn and winter. First off is Fieldwalking on Saturday 20th September at Covington, near Kimbolton, where we hope to find some interesting Roman and Medieval potery.

In October we have two practical courses in how to conduct a geophysical magnetometry survey on Saturday 25th October in Great Gransden.

In November we have a very popular Writing Project Reports course, and another on QGIS Mapping (mapping is already fully-booked).

For more details on these courses, and a booking form, do check out our training courses page. As ever, priority goes to members of Jigsaw affiliated socities, followed by other Cambridgeshire residents, and finally CBA East members across East Anglia.

advisory gp

The Jigsaw Advisory Group, comprised of representatives of Jigsaw affiliated groups and Archaeology Action Groups, meets three to four times a year. The Advisory Group is an important part of the project, since the contributions of reps help us assess how well the project is delivering, where we can improve and make changes, and plan for the future.

For the sake of transparency, any interested parties can download the minutes of the last meeting, at which we discussed ideas for training courses 2015 and the summer projects of our groups.
