Meet the Team
The Prestongrange Community Archaeology project is a community-based project. It offers opportunities for individuals to get involved with an archaeological project and to work alongside professional archaeologists in exploring and investigating a part of East Lothian's heritage.
The project team is made up of approximately 20 volunteers from the local community, archaeologists from CFA Archaeology Ltd, Peter Ross (the project videographer), George Haggarty (project pottery specialist), Jill Turnbull (project glass specialist) and East Lothian Council Archaeology Service.
In the first phase of the project (2004 - 2006) there was a core group of 20 volunteers all with varying backgrounds that included a landscape gardener; financial advisor; a school teacher; architect; and unemployed railway worker and several people now retired. Most were local to the area or lived within the Lothians.
Many of the phase 2 volunteers were involved with the first phase of the project but they have been joined by new volunteers. More information to follow.
