The Project Team The Nottingham Caves Survey is run by Trent & Peak Archaeology, part of The University of Nottingham.   Trent & Peak Archaeology / The University of Nottingham Dr David Walker The project is managed by Dr David Walker. David has been a field archaeologist since the early 1990s, working mostly in the East Midlands for Trent & Peak Archaeology in its various incarnations, but he has also worked on archaeological projects in Syria and the USA. David has been fascinated with the potential of laser scanners for archaeological and heritage work since seeing one in action in 2003, and fascinated by Nottingham’s caves since visiting one for the first time in 1977. Dr David Walker Transport  The Nottingham Caves Survey aims to undertake its fieldwork with as little motorized transport as possible. Not only is the use of a car or van rather resource-hungry, it is also difficult and expensive to park in the city centre! The project was designed from the outset to be delivered by trailer-pulling bicycle. All our kit is carried in large aluminium boxes, on Carry Freedom trailers. It’s easy, cheap, and environmentally friendly.   Trailer-pulling bicycles Craig Dicken Craig Dicken is a University of Nottingham archaeology student, working with the project over the summer break. As well as being an active part of the survey and processing team, Craig is responsible for our Twitter feed and Wikipedia page.

Over the past months Scott has located, collated and digitised well over 4000 documents, plans, and photographs relating to Nottingham’s caves, from the 18th century to the present day. All this material is now linked to the project GIS, and some will be available through the website.
