the “Northamptonshire Artefact Recovery Club” has been formed by a small group of like minded metal detectorists in the Northamptonshire region with the aims of increasing the archaeological knowledge of Northamptonshire as a whole, with specific interest in West Northamptonshire.The aims of N.A.R.C. are:
-
Offering surface surveys to Landowners to assist in the determination of their lands’ history within the broader Northamptonshire context.
-
Providing a platform to enable local detectorists to participate in a controlled manner in full co-operation with the Landowners, by instilling best practices in the ever growing detectorist community.
-
Forging close ties with local archaeological and history groups to ensure that our services are made fully available as and when required by such communities.
-
Actively promoting and propagating the history of the area amongst all interested parties and a broad range of local groups. Working closely with Julie Cassidy, Northamptonshire's Finds Liaison Officer of the Portable Antiquity Scheme.
-
Members will be actively encouraged to attend national rallies and participate in non-club activities to further their and our collective, knowledge of the available technologies and techniques being employed elsewhere in the country to improve the quality of our recovery and recording.
