The City of London Archaeological Society was founded in 1966 to encourage interest and engagement in British archaeology, particularly in the heart of London and its ancient environs.
Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the history and archaeology of London. COLAS members enjoy:
- Free monthly lecture meetings, with a distinguished roster of guest speakers
- Occasional members’ nights for short presentations on members’ own research, fieldwork and travels
- Occasional guided walks in the City and beyond
- Our quarterly members' magazine, Context, with 36 pages of news, lecture notes, site reports, reviews, events and activities
- Site visits to current excavations in and around London
- Excursions to heritage sites in London, East Anglia and the South East
- Outreach activities including our popular weekend at HM Tower of London during the Festival of British Archaeology
- Seasonal fieldwork and occasional invitations to volunteer on excavations elsewhere
| COLAS contributes to the study of the City and its environs through fieldwork and research. Over the past several years, COLAS members have been exploring the industrial archaeology of the Thames’ foreshore from Limehouse to Wapping, studying and recording features including eroding causeways, and abandoned barge beds, anchors and rudders. |  COLAS filmed by the BBC on the Wapping foreshore |
| COLAS is a Registered Charity supported entirely by the work of its volunteers. The Society iis affiliated with the Council for British Archaeology (CBA), London and Middlesex Archaeological Society (LAMAS), Rescue – The British Archaeological Trust, and London Archaeologist. |  A guided walk on Wanstead Flats |
