The society was established in 1983 to provide a forum for contact and exchange for research students interested in archaeology from any department in the University. The key figure in setting up and running the society seems to have been Polly Jeanne Fahnestock (died 2007) of Wolfson College. The society appears to have ceased to function in ca 1985.
