NEWS about the USAS 

The University of Sussex Archaeological Society (USAS) was initially set up in 1998 by a small group of part-time students who were studying archaeology at the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE), University of Sussex, for the benefit of other students, staff and members of the local archaeology community.  Sadly, despite the popularity of CCE and the teaching of archaeology at the university, both came to an end in 2013, but the USAS has continued and has welcomed anyone who has an interest in archaeology, whatever level that interest may be. During the pandemic we took our lectures online, and this proved to be very popular, and so we continued on that route.

When David Rudling and Sarah Green took on the Sussex School of Archaeology and History (SSA&H) we felt that was the time to review the future of the USAS. 

We certainly didn't want to see the end of the USAS and the great community of supporters that we have been fortunate to have with us over our 25 years.  So, we decided to merge the USAS to become a part of the Sussex School of Archaeology and History (SSA&H), but kept the name USAS and with a dedicated area of the website for the 'USAS Lecture Series'

More recently, we also decided to expand our remit to cover aspects of History, especially the Local History of Sussex and the South-East - hence our expanded name of The Sussex School of Archaeology and History which has now been further changed to Sussex Archaeology & History (SAH) to better reflect our  focus on the dissemination of new archaeological and historical research in Sussex and beyond by means of online and live lectures, conferences and study tours.

Whilst we are not going to update this website at the moment, we have kept it open, and you can see details of our previous lecture series, from our first online series in 2020.
