About Past Horizons

  Who are we?

Past Horizons was created by husband and wife team, David Connolly and Maggie Struckmeier.

David is a professional archaeologist with 25 years experience working mainly in the Arab Emirates, Iraq, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Jordan. Seven years ago he set up his own highly successful website www.bajr.org which provides invaluable information about archaeology and archaeological jobs in the UK. 

Maggie’s background is in buying oriental rugs and furniture in Iran, Turkey, India and Morocco for a company in Scotland and while having no formal training in archaeology often accompanies David to work on projects both in the UK and around the world. 

David and Maggie realise that there are many people who would like to participate in archaeology but do not know who to ask or how to go about getting involved. Past Horizons was created to help put people in touch with projects around the world and hopefully produce a community of enthusiasts who will participate year after year and might be willing to discuss and share each others experiences.  We now have a successful Magazine, Video site and of course the World Projects list.   We know what people want, because we use the tools ourselves on projects from Croatia to Jordan and Scotland to the UAE.

 What makes Past Horizons different?

Several things make us stand out.

• You only pay  for equipment that is ready to ship.
• You always know when your order will be ready.
• You know that we only sell the best equipment - cheap alternatives just don't cut it!
• We use all the equipment ourselves, so it has been field tested and approved by BAJR and by professional archaeologists who know what works.
•  Buying from us helps to finance the Past Horizons site that provides information on Archaeology Opportunities abroad and volunteer sites here in the UK- Archaeology Fieldwork is just a click away. (search Here)
• If we don't have it... we will find out who can supply it to you.
• Plus...  we are the leaders in UK Archaeology Tools,  creating the best.
