Carbury Trust

Local Archaeological Conservation and Heritage Management

Description

A conservation-focused archaeological organization managing the Lake Vortigern dig site where James Ellis serves as a driver.

Warmsly's attempts to contact the Trust highlight its bureaucratic structure, while the presence of the organization's sign at the disrupted site suggests institutional jurisdiction over the sensitive excavation affected by supernatural disturbances.
