We run a summer field school at Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland, UK. Bamburgh was the capital of Saxon Northumbria and has been continuously occupied for well over 3,000 years, it is one of the most impressive and important archaeological sites in North East England.
Bamburgh Research Project has been investigating the castle site and it's environs since 1996. This year excavations will continue in the West Ward of the castle, investigating evidence of early medieval industrial processing including metalworking areas and structural remains. Recent finds include swords, knives, a shield boss and a hoard of Anglo Saxon Stycca coins. This season should be very exciting.
The field school is open to all students and volunteers. We provide training in all aspects of practical fieldwork techniques including excavation, drawing, photography, site recording, survey, post excavation analysis, databasing, sampling and environmental processing, artefact recognition and processing, and site interpretation. The site is run by professional field archaeologists who will work directly with participants in the trenches.
We also run a media department recording the site and social history of the project and students are encouraged to participate in this.
Evening lectures and site tours are provided in addition to the training in the trenches. There is also a healthy social life off site. For more info and to apply online go to our website: www.bamburghresearchprojet.co.uk
We do not provide specific accreditation, as we are not affiliated to any one university; however, we assess all participants individually and provide a report based on their experiences and skills on site. If you want the BRP to liase with your university to compile a report of your work here, then we are happy to do so, and will meet all reasonable requests. For short videos made by students go to our YouTube Channel.
As of November 2009, Bamburgh Research Project has been nominated as one of the UK's top 5 research projects by Current Archaeology magazine! All subscribers are invited to vote for us
