Points of Fact
"Karl-James Langford, the project organiser and director of Archaeology Cymru (AC).
And at the moment, Karl is looking for volunteers who want to learn more about the physical legacies left from days gone by.
Karl said: "As part of a large project, known as the ?St Brides? Major Excavation and Survey Project?, we are carrying out a dig at St Brides Major, looking at a 17th century dwelling. We have already conducted aerial photography and field walking in the area. Now we need volunteers to help continue the work. All the skills any volunteers need is enthusiasm and a particular interest in the past."
Archaeology Cymru (AC) was founded in 1996 and was based in Barry until 1998 when it moved to Pen y Groes, Gwynedd. But they couldn?t stay away for long and recently Karl moved back into the Vale of Glamorgan. Archaeology Cymru is now based in Bonvilston.
Karl added: "Over the years archaeological activity has diminished in the Vale of Glamorgan. Archaeology Cymru used to give regular guided walks and lectures in Barry and Cowbridge but due to family pressures I couldn?t continue them. They were very popular, with between 30 and 40 people attending. And in the future, as my children get older, I hope I?ll be able to offer leisurely walks amongst some of the most historic parts of the Vale of Glamorgan."
Karl, 26, has been interested in archaeology for more than ten years. "
