The highlight of this year’s AGM will be a talk by Phil Harding currently a Fieldwork Archaeologist at Wessex Archaeology’s Salisbury office working on large scale excavation projects including Kingsmead Horton the Army Basing Programme work at Bulford.

Phil is probably best known for his regular appearances on Channel 4’s Time Team where he was one of the core group of archaeologists for many years.  He began his career as a field archaeologist more than 50 years ago, working for Wessex Archaeology since 1979. He has written a number of academic publications relating to some of the most significant archaeological sites of the last fifty years and is an acknowledged expert on prehistoric flint-knapping which he enjoys demonstrating at public demonstrations, community events and classes, his aim is to help keep this skill alive for future generations and to pass on to them his  passion and love for archaeology in the process.  Phil is President of the Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC), Honorary President of the Defence Archaeology Group and was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London.
