About Us...

The South Somerset Archaeological Research Group is a voluntary organisation which evolved out of an amalgamation of the South Cadbury Environs Project and the South East Somerset Archaeological Society.

The Group's aim is to support heritage and archaeological activities related to the archaeology in and around South Somerset.  Members have the opportunity to take part in practical archaeological and local history research projects, as well as attend talks, outings and other events.  Members also receive a monthly newsletter sent out by email. 

For information about membership and how to join see the Contact Us page or email info@ssarg.org.uk



SSARG has been awarded the Association for Environmental Archaeology Community Group Prize for 2017!  SSARG is a keen supporter of environmental archaeology on both practical and educational levels.  The award entitles SSARG to a three year membership to the Association and access to their Journal.
