Archeoscan provides opportunities for public involvement in archaeology. Our most popular activity is giving people the chance to participate in an excavation at exciting sites in the Cotswolds area. We also assist communities in conducting geophysical surveys of sites of interest to them.  Equally, we visit schools and colleges in support of the national curriculum to provide hands-on experiences of archaeology

To date many people have enjoyed excavating on our sites.  These have included Roman villa sites, a possible new Roman pottery kiln site and a possible Iron Age and Roman port on the River Severn, and discovering a lost Medieval manor in the Cotswolds. Thank you to all who participated in the digs and contributed in so many ways. 

 2024 DIGS

Next Dig 19th August to 03rd October 2024

We are pleased to announce that the bookings for the second session this year at the large Iron Age and Roman site near Slimbridge in Glouceseshire are now open (see digging opportunities)

We have had one session on this site earlier in the year and left it in a tantalising place with the discovery of an apse in the Roman bathhouse.  We will continue to explore the bath house and the 1st to 3rd century villa that is associated with it and also the large Roman warehouse built over the top of it in the later Roman period.

 The dates that we will be on this site are:

Sunday 18th to Thursday 22 August
Sunday 25th August
Tuesday 27th to Thursday 29th August
Sunday 01st  to Wednesday 04th September
Sunday 08th to Thursday 12th September

Bookings for this dig are now open.  Please email your requested days to archeoscan@hotmail.co.uk

To be placed on the mailing list contact us and you wil be one of the first to know of the new opportunities.
