How To Participate
To join as a Volunteer
Volunteers play a full part in the excavation under supervision, but do not get a formal training course or field trips. Due to the complexity of the archaeology in Sector 2, we require prospective volunteers to have previous experience of archaeological fieldwork. Anyone who wishes to participate in the project on a volunteer basis may apply for a place on any one or more of the following fieldwork sessions:
| SESSION 1: | To be posted in Spring 2004 |
| SESSION 2: | To be posted in Spring 2004 |
| SESSION 3: | To be posted in Spring 2004 |
| SESSION 4: | To be posted in Spring 2004 |
