-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the great success of Archaeology Live! training excavations from 2001 to 2006 at various sites in the City of York, Archaeology Live! became part of the Hungate excavations in the summer of 2007.
The excavation hopes to answer a number of questions about the Hungate site, which has already been shown to contain deeply stratified archaeology from the Roman period onwards. Small-scale excavations in 2000 and 2002 revealed a complex sequence of burials, structures, occupation deposits and road surfaces dating from as early as the 3rd century AD. Significant archaeology lay relatively close to the modern ground surface and was generally well preserved.
The 2010 season will concentrate eastern side of the site where archaeological features from the Viking and Medieval periods disturb an area where Roman burials and cremations have been found.
Spring Session 12-23 April 2010
Summer Season 28th June - 17 September 2010
Other training courses outside the spring and summer seasons of Archaeology Live! will also be available, so please enquire via the address below.
The training excavation gives you the chance to learn about and participate in excavation, recording, planning, finds processing, environmental sampling, and processing.
Depending on the progress made on site there may also be opportunities for additional training in the excavation and processing of human remains and waterlogged deposits. Other specific requests for training may also be available on application. Professional field archaeologists provide all the training throughout the course.
During Archaeology Live! the archaeology will be excavated and recorded by the trainees; the trainers teach and assist when required. It is a field-based training programme where people learn by doing the excavation, and by discovering and recording the archaeology themselves, rather than by classroom based tuition.
