Nottinghamshire Community Archaeology offers a range of opportunities for people to get involved in aspects of their local heritage.

We are committed to improving access to heritage and helping communities to become directly involved.

The aim of our volunteer projects is to involve communities in all aspects of heritage discovery, interpretation and protection.

We also aim to provide training and education, for groups and for individuals.

Short listed for Heritage Award.

The Community Archaeologists and Nottingham University Archaeology Museum were short listed for an award at the Nottinghamhire Renaissance Heritage Awards 2009.

The awards were presented by Renaissance East Midlands and the Nottinghamshire Museums forum.

We were shortlisted in the 'Best event' category, for a family archaeology day at the university archaeology museum held in the spring. The short-listing put us ahead of a number of other events at some of the best known museums in the county.

Staff were particularly congratulated for once again providing the event free of charge and in their own time.

Festival of British Archaeology

Once again the Festival of British Archaeology proved an enormous success with two weeks of events culminating in a successfull and well attended conference: Archaeology in Action, at Nottingham University, ran by the Community Archaeologists and the Archaeology department.

Upcoming fieldwork opportunities

There will be more opportunities to get involved soon.

Please see upcoming events for details.
