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.
Becky is digging in our North England region
This lovely prehistoric arrowhead was found early on in our excavations. A good sign of things to come.
Charlotte is digging in our South England region
This possibly medieval floor tile has come out of some rubble abutting a wall, which may be an original of several Victorian reproductions found earlier during the excavation.
