There are 2 exams in the first year (AS) and coursework in the second (A2) year together with an exam. “The Guisborough area, including the Tees Valley and the North York Moors is an area rich in archaeology of all periods. From the Bronze Age burial mounds on the moors, to the Norman villages many of us live in; and not forgetting the industrial archaeology of the area which made many of the settlements of today. There are few opportunities for people of this area to attend structured courses about archaeology and this course is led by somebody who has been involved in the archaeology of the area for many years. As the head of Tees Archaeology, the local authority archaeological service for the area, I welcome this course and we look forward to working with the tutor and participants.“ Robin Daniels, Tees Archaeology For further information please contact Caroline Anderson at Prior Pursglove Sixth Form College on 01287 280800 or email k.quinn@prior.pursglove.ac.uk 14th December 2009 New content 2 new pages have recently been added to the Tees Archaeology website. These are a new and more detailed page relating to Kilton Castle and a new page based on Scheduled Monuments in Redcar & Cleveland. We are also repairing all the little errors within the website, but this is taking a lot longer than expected, so please bear with us and if you notice any errors please contact us.
