SOAG is one of the most active, independent archaeology groups in Oxfordshire engaged in excavation and landscape archaeology. We aim to promote an interest in all aspects of archaeology in South Oxfordshire. We welcome people of all ages and experience to take part in excavation, post excavation work, fieldwork and landscape study. We have a full programme of lectures by professional speakers and experienced members, and visits to places of interest.
Roman Villa Excavation
NB: field work on this project is now finished and in 2020 we enter a period of post excavation work. Details of the last tow year work at the site can be found on the villa project pages.

We periodically undertake other field projects. These may be full SOAG projects, such as our ongoing investigation of a Romano-British site at High Wood near Henley-on-Thames or with other local organisations such as the Blewbury Local History Group.
