Ffurfiwyd Ymddiriedolaeth Archaeolegol Gwynedd yn 1974, ac mae'n un o bedair Ymddiriedolaeth archaeolegol debyg sy'n gweithredu yng Nghymru. Nod yr Ymddiriedolaeth yw hybu'r gwaith o addysgu'r cyhoedd am archaeoleg. Er mwyn cyflawni'r amcan hwn mae'r Ymddiriedolaeth yn:
- Ceisio hysbysu ac addysgu'r cyhoedd yn gyffredinol trwy gyhoeddi ei gwaith, trwy drefnu darlithoedd, cyfarfodydd a theithiau m
aes, a thrwy ddehongli safleoedd archaeolegol sy'n rhan o'r dirwedd.
- Cadw'r Cofnod o Safleoedd a Henebion rhanbarthol a sicrhau ei fod ar gael i bawb;
Cynnig cyngor ynglyn â goblygiadau archaeolegol cynigion datblygu i adrannau cynllunio awdurdodau unedol a datblygwyr preifat.
