The Dyfed Archaeological Trust and the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust are offering two free introduction training days in graveyard recording and Plane Table surveying. Through this training, we will teach you how to record and decipher the information contained on tombstones and the graves themselves. We will also teach you how to create accurate plans and maps of a site using Plane Table Surveying. This surveying technique is one which can also be applied to other archaeological sites such as earthworks and building remains.

Mae Ymddiriedolaeth Archaeolegol Dyfed ac Ymddiriedolaeth Archaeolegol Morgannwg-Gwent yn cynnig dau ddiwrnod o hyfforddiant cyflwyno yn rhad ac am ddim mewn cofnodi mynwentydd a gwneud arolygon Bwrdd Plân. Drwy’r hyfforddiant hwn, byddwn yn eich dysgu sut i gofnodi a dehongli’r wybodaeth ar feddfeini a’r beddau eu hunain. Byddwn hefyd yn eich dysgu sut i greu cynlluniau a mapiau manwl gywir o safle, gan ddefnyddio dull Arolygon Bwrdd Plân. Mae’r dechneg hon o wneud arolwg yn un y gellir ei chymhwyso i safleoedd archaeolegol eraill hefyd, fel gwrthgloddiau ac olion adeiladau.

Following these training days, we will have two comprehensive surveying kits containing all the necessary equipment to enable groups to conduct their own research and recording in the field. These kits will be freely available to loan from the Dyfed and Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trusts.

Yn dilyn y diwrnodau hyfforddi hyn, bydd gennym ddau becyn cynhwysfawr ar gyfer gwneud arolygon yn cynnwys yr holl offer angenrheidiol i alluogi grwpiau i gynnal eu hymchwil eu hunain a chofnodi yn y maes. Bydd y pecynnau hyn ar gael i’w benthyg yn rhad ac am ddim o Ymddiriedolaethau Archaeolegol Dyfed a Morgannwg-Gwent.
