Members of the Essex Society for Archaeology & History have just received an interesting copy of the Newsletter - the summer 2013 edition. The highlight is Sue Howlett's four pages on 'The Mersea Barrow Bones: experts confirm unique find', mentioned elsewhere on this blog and heralding the forthcoming academic reports which will appear in Volume 4 of our Transactions next year. 

Other items include:
The Society's visit to Colchester Castle in April 2013.
The Society's visit to Pleshey Castle in May 2013.
The possibility of funding to support the writing up of archaeological notes on excavations which took place at Pleshey Castle during the 1970s.
Monument by Eric Gill rediscovered at Buckhurst Hill.
Danbury's lost church accounts. 
The Native Oyster Under Threat. 

Coverage also includes notes from the President about the formation and inaugural meeting of the Essex Industrial Archaeology Group to be held at Chelmsford Museum on Saturday 23 November beginning at 2.30pm.
