We’re looking to expand our Archaeology volunteering team, helping us bring archaeology to our visitors.
Ever wanted to try your hand at archaeology? Up for learning new skills? Why not become an archaeology volunteer – and what better place than at Sutton Hoo?
At the moment, we are focusing on geophysical survey (using non-destructive electronic techniques to detect archaeological features), field walking (finding, recording and identifying objects in cultivated fields) and other specific archaeology activities.
Our volunteers help to run our Archaeology Live sessions of field walking and geophysics with our visitors, explaining the methodology and techniques used, helping with the specialist technology and providing expertise on any discovered finds.
You can also help us develop our programme going forward, working together with NT staff and professional archaeologists to explore options for archaeological interpretation for visitors to Sutton Hoo.
