Test Pit Campaigns
Community Excavations
Educational Engagement
Are you interested in the history of the place you live? Test-pits are neat, micro-excavations dug in any garden, school grounds or playing fields. An ideal weekend activity, all ground is replaced once complete. We can organise and run a test pit project for your community to help you uncover how your town or village developed and who lived, worked and played where you are living now.
