Roman Archaeology Group

Welcome

The Roman Archaeology Group Inc. was established in 2004 with the central objectives:

  • to develop and promote Roman Archaeology through the dissemination of information on the subject
  • and to generally raise awareness of Roman Archaeology in our community.

Income from memberships and other activities will be directed to providing our regular newsletter The RAG, and to supporting, for example:

  • public lectures
  • providing travel scholarships for students
  • and supporting fieldwork and scholarship on Roman Archaeology

Members receive The RAG and all previous issues except the most recent* are here for you to view. Membership is open to all with reduced rates for families and students and a special "school membership" rate.

* RAG 4.2 now published and 4.1 posted on the web site

STOP PRESS!

If you are interested in Aerial Archaeology and/ or Turkey and/or Graeco-Roman cities ... I have an article on the ruins at Kaunos in the new issue of Current World Archaeology ("A heavenly view of Kaunos. Flying the Aegean", Current World Archaeology 34 (2009): 37-42

Google Earth allows access to landscapes previously forbidden to Aerial Archaeology. One such area is Saudi Arabia where there are a few high resolution 'windows' and astonishing and unsuspected discoveries. You can read about some of these in the online edition of Saudi Aramco World magazine volume 60.4 for July/ August 2009: David Kennedy 'Desktop Archaeology'.
