Cave Exploration and Excavation with the Upland Caves Network

摘要

The Upland Cave Network is a discussion group that brings together people with a common interest in caves including cavers, geologists, archaeologists, palaeontologists, and museum curators. 'Cave exploration and excavation' was the theme of the network's first conference. It was held November 21 2009 at Manchester Museum. Dr Hannah O'Regan began the proceedings with a brief introduction to the network and a description of the main aim of the meeting, which was to get people with a common interest in caves together to talk and for them to find out new and interesting things. Following the discussions Dr O'Regan aims to produce excavation guidelines for cavers and archaeologists.
