Local Government Ceramic Survey

SGRP and MPRG Ceramic Survey

The Study Group for Roman Pottery (SGRP) and Medieval Pottery Research Group (MPRG) are currently undertaking a consultation exercise to gauge the state of pottery studies across England, Scotland and Wales. As part of this, we hope to collect the views of Archaeological Officers working in Local Government through the following questionnaire.

This survey contains eight questions and will take around 10 minutes to complete. Any questions which are not applicable can be skipped. All responses are anonymous. The survey will remain online until the 31st May 2010.
