We are a membership group for everyone interested in Yorkshire's archaeology.
We are a charitable organisation (registered charity no. 519581) run entirely by volunteers for the benefit of those interested in the welfare and better understanding of Yorkshire's historic environment. We aim to encourage and promote greater public knowledge and involvement, and where possible to advance and assist relevant research.
We cover the historic Ridings of Yorkshire, from the Tees to the Humber, and from the Pennine moors to the east coast. The archaeology of this region is as diverse as its landscape, from the often-elusive remains of the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic in the Dales, to the military remains of the mid-twentieth century on the North Sea coast.
We are an independent charity funded by our members' and affiliates' subscriptions. Our committee is elected at the annual general meeting in February each year and meets four times during the year.

www.jorvikvikingfestival.co.uk/ in time for half term! Apparently now recognised at the largest event of its kind in Europe, taking in a number of historical and archaeological attractions in York for all of next week
Home│ 20th to 27th February 2019

Recognised as the largest event of its kind in Europe, the annual JORVIK Viking Festival is a city-wide celebration of York’s Viking heritage.
N.B. This is not a paid post, but I (Alistair) feel that, as a member of CIfA, this information should be brought to the attention of the wider archaeological community!
The Chartered Institute of Archaeologists have published their "The introduction of a Chartered Archaeologist
grade of accreditation" in advance of their Extraordinary General Meeting in late April this year at the CIfA conference in Leeds.
To quote the sub-heading of "why is CIfA proposing a Chartered Archaeologist Grade?":
"As archaeology matures as a profession, CIfA wants all stakeholders to be aware that the profession is striving for excellence, raising standards, and working in the public
interest, for the benefit of the historic environment.
A Chartered Archaeologist grade is a way for CIfA to bring our accreditations into line with the most trusted and established professional bodies. This will improve the value and meaning of CIfA accreditation and ensure that it is recognised as a benchmark of quality by archaeologists, clients and the public.
A Chartered Archaeologist grade will:
1. Focus on raising standards and continual improvement
2. Inspire client and public confidence in our abilities and professionalism
3. Deliver parity of status with other professions
4. Provide greater recognition of the value added by archaeologists
5. Set clear professional career pathways for all archaeologists
6. Attract new people into the profession and retain talent"
