Field SchoolNent Valley Archaeological Research ProjectApplication Deadline: June 5th, 2006 Start Date: 06/05/2006 End Date: 08/25/2006 University, Company, InstitutionNorth Pennines Archaeology Ltd Location of field SchoolNenthead/Alston Cumbria, United Kingdom Field School OverviewField School OverviewProject DirectorsFrank Giecco,BA, Dip Arch, AIFA, Technical Director for North Pennines Archaeology LtdField School DescriptionThe Nent Valley Archaeological Research Project is an archaeological field school which has been set up to record the archaeological resource in the North Pennines, and beyond. The project aims to provide archaeology students, and prospective entrants into archaeology courses at university, the opportunity to gain valuable fieldwork experience by participating in the project; skills available to be taught are: Surveying Techniques; Excavation Techniques; Archaeological Planning Techniques; Environmental and Finds Processing Techniques; Building Recording Techniques; Computer Aided Drawing (Digitising).This year, the project will be concentrating on the Smallcleugh Mines area of the site. The Smallcleugh mines lie within the Nent Valley, to the south-east of the main Nenthead Mines Smelt Mill complex, and form part of the upper mine workings at Nenthead. The area is of sufficient importance to have been granted SSSI status in 1994; the proposed survey area incorporates two mine levels or adits (Smallcleugh Level and Hodgson s High Level), three extant buildings, at least three demolished buildings, and, just south of the main area, the Smallcleugh Washing Floor. The Smallcleugh Mines are thought to date from the eighteenth century. The three extant buildings are in a bad state of repair, and are in urgent need of stabilisation. The project will concentrate on the recording of these buildings (a mine shop and two powder stores) through building recording and survey. Limited excavation will also be carried out on all three buildings. In addition, excavation will be carried out on the midden to the rear of the mine shop, and two failed leats will also be excavated and restored. Further non-invasive work will be carried out through the extensive recording of the remains in the area through written record, planning and survey. These remains include the surviving remains of the tramways, supporting walls, exposed timbers etc which exist along the edge of the river. The work will form the focus for a new guided walk through the mining landscape, and the restored buildings will be brought into the complex for this purpose. A limited programme of recording will also be undertaken on the Smallcleugh Washing Floor to the north, which is not well The field school runs from June to September, and students are asked to participate for a minimum of two weeks. The school is open to experienced archaeologists and beginners.
