Cave Archaeology Group

Welcome to the Cave Archaeology Group Website. The Cave Archaeology Group is a special interest group of the British Cave Research Association. The group is for everyone with an interest in archaeological remains from caves, mines and karst landscapes.

About the Group

The Cave Archaeology Group (CAG) works to help cavers, archaeologists, museum professionals and the public explore, interpret and look after archaeological and palaeontological remains in and around caves. We aim to promote working relationships between these groups and to encourage a transfer of education and skills, leading to a better understanding between individuals, groups and disciplines.
