Garden Archaeology

Athersley, New Lodge and Smithies' very own Time Team will be coming to gardens and schools around the area from Monday 2nd September.

Look out for this banner on front walls, fences or hedges - when you see it, it means our local Time Team are doing a small archaeological dig in that garden!

Each day we will dig a 1m by 1m archaeological test pit in two gardens. We have almost a full list of gardens for the 2013 dig season but still have room for more volunteers to help dig. The exciting part is, we don't know yet what we'll find from our area's past!

Please get in touch if you'd like to find out more or get involved. We'll also hold dig seasons in 2014 and 2015.
