Welcome...

Our society is for everyone interested in the archaeology of Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.

For over 50 years we have been working to bring together amateur archaeologists, professionals in a range of fields, and all those interested in our area’s past and the preservation of our heritage.

We currently have over 250 members. Our aim is to promote interest in archaeology through events, fieldwork, publications and lectures.

We hope to keep the community up-to-date with news and events through our regular newsletters and this website.

ERAS also produces 'East Riding Archaeologist'. Each edition provides analysis and information about archaeology in the area. A catalogue of past editions can be downloaded from our website - click here.

    LECTURE UPDATE

    So we have sadly come to the end of a very varied and interesting lecture season. The AGM began with a minutes silence to reflect on the loss of Dr Terry Manby who has contributed so much to East Yorkshire's archaeological record and will be sadly missed. The AGM was followed by Dr Peter Halkon's presentation on 40 Years of Research on the Prehistoric and Roman Landscapes of the Foulness Valley - which we now confirm is now actually 45 years of research! Thank you to Peter for stepping in at very short notice, and for arranging our fantastic lecture programme. More to come from September! You can follow our progress again at Petuaria ReVisited later in the summer and we will of course, still be running our Field Studies Programme throughout the summer. Our next Field Studies will see Matt Walker running a flint workshop on Wednesday 7 May at 7.30 pm at our usual venue in St Nicholas Church Parish Rooms on Holmechurch Lane, Beverley.
