To be placed on the mailing list email us.

We notify the mailing list of dig opportunities before they are relased on the website so contact us to hear of the digs at the earliest opportunity

There may be some short notice opportunities that will be notified to the mailing list first

Digs are very popular and places sell very quickly

Please contact us on archeoscan@hotmail.co.uk or digenquiries@archeoscan.com.

Provisional bookings for digs will be confirmed by email along with a Participant's Charter detailing where the dig is and what to expect on the day.

Places will be confirmed on the dig on receipt of advance payment.

Excavations are subject to the vagaries of the weather and agricultural regimes.  We will attempt to give plenty of notice in the event of any variation to the planned digging dates.  In the event of poor weather refunds will be made in accordance with the cancellation policy that will be sent with your booking.
