Archeoscan is offering the opportunity to excavate at various interesting archaeological sites throughout the year. We have recently surveyed a number of sites in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire. We currently have a number of sites for excavation generally from April to October each year.
Please see the Digging Dates page for those sites that are open for booking
Digging Opportunities
- Guiting Power £37.50/person/day
We will normally be on site from Sunday to Thursday each week of the dig weather permitting (check individual site details)
DIGS FOR 2022
Our next dig is at Guiting Power, Gloucestershire (near Bourton-on-the-Water) on selected dates between June 26th to 21st July 2022. We conducted an initial evaluation on this site in 2021 and uncovered the remains of a Medieval manor and its associated outbuilding complex and we are returning to this site this year to conduct a larger scale excavation on the footprint of the main manor house building.
The dates that we will be on site are:
Sunday 26th to Thursday 30th June
Sunday 03rd to Thursday 07th July
Sunday 10th to Thursday 14th July
Sunday 17th to Thursday 21st July
We still have places on most days. Let me know if any date suits you and we can book you in and send you details.
We will also be returning to the Roman site at Slimbridge in August and September 2022. Dates will be released soon.
For 2022 digs see Digging Dates page
