York Archaeology Training Excavation - School Green - Friday Taster
York Archaeology’s training excavation - where anyone can try their hand at archaeology! Whether you are a novice amateur archaeologist, student or experienced underground explorer, as you’ll be working alongside our professional archaeologists as they guide and train you throughout the excavation.
York Archaeology Training Excavation - School Green 2024
After two successful years excavating in the grounds of Willow House, the time feels right for a new adventure. This summer, we’ll be looking to pastures new and seeing if the grass truly is greener on the other side… of the road.
Following a successful public consultation with residents of the Walmgate area, we will now turn our focus to an unassuming area of grass that we have named School Green. The space was identified as a potential archaeological hotspot during research led by participants of our Archaeology on Prescription social prescribing project.
We will be running Friday Taster days:
It is not possible in a single day to provide full training in the whole range of excavation and findswork that takes place on the typical archaeological excavation. However, the course should give you an appreciation not only of the basic principles and techniques of archaeologicalexcavation, but also why they are used.
We will be on-site 10am-5pm.
£85 (Please note, the cost does not include accommodation. That is the responsibility of each trainee.)
