Work to be undertaken
N.B. Before attending any project it is your responsibility to ensure that your planned activities will actually involve ‘practical archaeological work’ and not just selling tickets or making the tea! We would therefore like you to indicate on the list below those activities you expect to participate in during your practical work. Add any further information or details at the end and attach a copy of any information you may have about non-departmental projects . Projects that include activities that fall outside the list here may fall outside the definition of ‘practical archaeological work’, and will need to be considered carefully before approval is given.
