Get started in archaeology

Picture
No experience is necessary to join our society, and we are always happy to see new members at events and excavations! We can provide on-site training at our digs, so you can learn new skills from our more experienced members. Simply Contact us and let us know you will be joining.

There are many stages to the archaeological process, it’s not all digging! From research and surveying to find sorting and writing up the results, there is something to interest everyone.

We also hold specialist training events which help members to develop particular skills. View our upcoming events calendar and look for an excavation, lecture, or training day that takes your fancy.
