they had worked with during last term’s Time Travellers* project, to present  their Heritage Trails Leaflets.

Ingleby Greenhow and Kirby and Great Broughon schools worked with KGBIG LHG during Autumn 2009 and together they walked part of the trails on 1 December 2009 . As part of the project they visited North Yorkshire County Record Office (NYCRO) in Northallerton  to tour the office, and view maps and documents. They were joined by Dave Evans from Yorkshire Museums Trust who brought along a range of artefacts. The children also took part in a map quiz. The winning team from each school was awarded a copy of Jeffreys Yorkshire map for their schools’ area.  To mark the collaboration between the schools and KGBIG LHG, the group arranged for the maps to be framed and presented the finished article to each school at assemblies on Friday 12 February 2010.

The group launched the leaflets on 22 January and they can be downloaded from the group website.

Feedback from Kirkby Malzeard school project 16 Ocober 2009 

Comments from class teacher, Mr M Houghton, together with photographs and a report of the project, were published in the Ripon Gazette

“The events have really brought the whole topic of archaeology to life for the children – they have absolutely loved it. It’s so much different to reading it in a book. One thing I thought was interesting was that the children originally thought that stone age man wasn’t very clever but through this project they have got to grips with the idea that these people were very intelligent and so the children have changed their opinion. I give a big thank you to Kevin from Community Archaeology Ltd  and all the adults who have been involved, as it has made for a very interesting half term. On Friday the children presented assembly. It was the children who wanted to hold the assembly. They enjoyed doing the project so much they wanted to share it with the mums and dads and other children at the school.”

the Claro Community Archaeology Group held a "Finds Day" on 1 August 2009 in the Old Court House, Knaresborough Castle. The day, despite the weather, was a tremendous success. The archaeology team from the Claro Group had the support of Dave Evans,  Archaeologist, Yorkshire Museums Trust , and Kevin Cale, Archaeologist, Community Archaeology Limited who examined a very wide range of artefacts, some of which were extremely rare.

Most of the people attending were local, but some were from as far afield as Scarborough. The artefacts brought in included three Neolithic stone axes, all had been found locally. One of them was identified by the green colour of the stone as having been made in Langdale, Cumbria.

There were many old coins including: Two roman coins - one that was of particular interest was a silver dianria 1st Century BC from before the Roman invasion. A Henry II short cross penny circa 1190. A Edward III groat circa 1355. A Henry VIII sovereing penny circa 1530.A very well preserved Greek coin from 2500 BC. and numerous other ranging from Elizabeth I to Victorian silver coins.

Other artefacts included 16th Century musket and cannon balls, an Anglo Saxon pin head, a Tudor dress hook, a flint barb and tang arrow head 200BC which was in very good condition and had been found at Flyingdale.

A record sheet detailing the archaeologist's findings on age, use and material was prepared for each item. Its dimensions, weight and location it was found were also recorded. A copy of the record was given to the owner to keep with their artefact.

A follow up day is being planned for 13 September at 3.00pm at the Old Courthhouse, Knaresborough, when Kevin Cale will use a slide show to display the main artefactsm whilst making relevant comments and answering questions. Currently the Claro Community Archaeology Group is involved in a four year project researching the archaeology and history of Scriven, Knaresborough.
