History of the AFC
Being good archaeologists, we have kept a
record of the past on our website, and you can visit the old website by clicking
here. The AFC was founded in 1948 and continues in
strength to this day. Past student-organised trips have been to Scotland and
Ireland, and Cambridge also hosted the Student Led Archaeology Conference in
2003.
