The physical remains of the past hold our shared story. Understanding what came before us creates a sense of place and identity which can inform and enrich our lives today. This is recognised in the UK's planning process, which seeks to strengthen local economies, support communities, and protect and enhance our environment through consideration of archaeology and heritage in development. Through our investigations, we help to physically and digitally preserve the past and ensure it is accessible to everyone now and forever.
Every week our teams of archaeologists are uncovering interesting finds across the country. Whether it is an artefact or an ecofact, each piece of evidence helps us build a more detailed picture of the past.
Join us in an exciting journey of discovery through our Project Feed.
Anne-Laure is digging in our East England region
One of the many fragments of axe moulds we’ve found during excavations on this Bronze Age settlement in Cambridgeshire. A socketed axe core. Quite a rare find.

Some wonderfully detailed medieval pot is being discovered on our urban site in Oxford.
