NAS Projects and Fieldschools

NAS projects and fieldschools offer the chance to get more involved in maritime archaeology and to put into practice those skills learnt during Introduction and Part I courses. They also offer a great opportunity to collect the survey data for your NAS Part II Certificate and can count towards the fieldwork component of your NAS Part IV as well as offering the chance to have fun, meet some new people and visit new sites.

In recent years NAS has run a wide variety of projects, on the foreshore, underwater, focusing on areas, such as the Sound of Mull or Forton Lake, and on individual sites such as the protected wreck site of the Holland 5 Submarine. Many of the projects have been run in the UK but we have also worked with training partners and collaborators overseas for projects such as Dor in Isreal or HMS Swift in Argentina.
