The
Greater York Community Archaeology project evolved from an initiative
supported by English Heritage, York Archaeological Forum, City
of York Council and York Archaeological Trust in 2003-4. As
an increasing number of archaeology and interest groups were
forming in the Greater York area, it became clear that more
assistance was needed to help these groups resource their projects.
It also became clear that local projects focusing on history,
archaeology, buildings and battlefields were a great way to
bring communities together, and empower them to care for their
historic environment. |
| A
bid was made to the Heritage Lottery Fund for money to fund
the project for five years. In December 2004 the HLF agreed
to fund the project and awarded a grant of £212,000. This
grant has enabled the appointment of a Community Archaeologist
and has provided money for the Community Resource. York Archaeological
Trust was chosen to host the Community Archaeologist post and
will be contributing financially to the day to day running of
the project. The project commenced on 1st March 2005. |
