The Durham River Wear Assemblage (DRWA) project is a self funded initiative established to record and research historical objects recovered from the River Wear
in Durham City using archaeology students along with specialists with more traditional archaeological skills from finds drawing to comparative analysis
and developing typologies. It is envisaged that this material will be published in volumes of a popular archaeology monograph
series, plus papers in academic journals. Once complete, permanent public and academic access to the identified objects of assemblage and their
associated research will be achieved through placing object details on the Durham University Museum catalogue. Public attention will be
focussed on the assemblage though local lectures, exhibiting in a number of local museum venues. The DRWA positively contributes to the North-East
England Research Group's aim to explore the archaeology and historic environment of North-East England.
Although the DRWA project is not directly affiliated to any particular organisation it is recognised by the Department of Archaeology, Durham University as one of their research projects: the Departments MA students actively research many of the DRWA artefacts. In addition, the DRWA project is supported by the Architectural and Archaeological Society of Durham and Northumberland (AASDN) who kindly recieve, on our behalf, public and private funding and oversee the financial governance of any artefact research, photography or illustrating expenditure. The AASDN are an unincorporated charity managed by a group of trustees and are committed to protecting the privacy of their members and supporters.
