THE PREHISTORIC SOCIETY

The Prehistoric Societys interests are world wide and extend from the earliest human origins to the emergence of written records. Membership is open to all, and includes professional, amateur, student and retired members.

An active programme of events lectures, study tours, day- and weekend conferences, and research weekends allows members to participate fully in the Society and to meet other members and interested parties. The study excursions cater for all preferences from the relatively luxurious to the more economical, including highly popular student study tours. Day visits to sites are arranged whenever possible.

The Society produces two publications that are included with most categories of membership: the annual journal, Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society and the topical newsletter, PAST, which is published in April, July and November. In addition the Prehistoric Society Research Papers are published occasionally on which members may have discount.
