CLASP is an umbrella organisation for initiating and facilitating community-led archaeology projects in Northamptonshire UK
CLASP brings local archaeology enthusiasts together to investigate their local past.
Professional archaeologists lead the activities and contribute specialist skills when necessary – but the ‘amateurs’ are encouraged and enabled to learn skills for themselves and become self-sufficient in many aspects of archaeological investigation.
CLASP also provides talks and lectures as part of its commitment to encouraging local communities to ‘own’ their archaeological heritage. CLASP also makes submissions to planning enquiries.
