Volunteers are welcome to sign up for one day, several days or the whole thing from 12 to 25 September (except for Monday 18 September which will be a day off). If you’re able to sign up for several consecutive days, you’ll get the chance to experience different elements of the dig.
ACTIVITIES: There will be a range of different activities available for volunteers depending on the day (e.g., finds cleaning, recording).
EXPERIENCE: No previous experience is required. Volunteers will be guided and trained by the archaeologists on site.
HOURS: Site hours will be around 9:00am to 4:00pm with morning break and lunch break.
BRING: Please bring your own pack lunch, water bottle and waterproofs. Sturdy boots such as walking boots or walking wellies are recommended. If you have garden gloves and kneeling mats, these can be brought along, but all digging equipment is provided.
SIGN UP: To sign up, please contact Hugh Skinner (hughmskinner@gmail.com) from the Historic Hilton Trust.
