NAS Intro Courses for 2012 |
25 November 2011 |
|
 Two Scottish dates for the Nautical Archaeology Society’s (NAS) Introduction to Foreshore and Underwater Archaeology have been announced for 2012. The first is being held in Edinburgh on the 21st January and the second is being held in Aberdeen on the 12th February.
The one day course introduces divers to the basic principals of underwater archaeology, the relevant legislation, and teaches the practical skills required to enable a diver to carry out a basic two dimensional survey of an underwater site. No pervious experience or knowledge of archaeology is required.
Don’t forget that completing the course entitles you to the new ScotSAC endorsement of ‘Underwater Archaeology’. To gain the endorsement you simply send a photocopy of your course record to ScotSAC HQ. Any qualified ScotSAC diver can gain this award and if you have already completed the NAS Introduction course, the endorsement can be gained retrospectively.
Additionally this endorsement, along with NAS Part 1 Course, can be used towards completing the ScotSAC First Class Diver ‘Underwater Archaeology Module’.
To book yourself on to the course, contact Mary Harvey at mary@nauticalarchaeologysociety.org.
And to find out more about this and other courses run by the NAS, check out the NAS course diary and training pages on www.nauticalarchaeologysociety.org.
