Discover
Wherever a project takes us, we work with our partners and local communities to find the best way to discover the past together. Whether through visits, webinars, or skills workshops, here you can find all the ways in which you can get involved!
Join us on a journey through the past
Every area has its own fascinating history just waiting to be explored. Through our work, we uncover new layers of that history, but that is only the beginning. Sharing our findings with you gives a much deeper meaning to what we discover and helps us understand it even better.
Your knowledge of the local area and the local stories that have been passed down through the years are invaluable as we delve into the past. That’s why for each project we work with key groups and stakeholders to design initiatives that fit how the local community wants to get involved. Get in touch with your ideas and requests, we want to hear from you. And stay tuned for news and initiatives.

Connect with like-minded enthusiasts in our archaeology community
Exploring the past is like embarking on a journey through time. As archaeologists we want to share our time travels with as many people as possible. Beyond in-person initiatives, we will share the latest from our projects here and on social media, so you can keep the archaeological exploration going in your own time.
But we all know that exploring in good company is more fun. We will be promoting webinars and other digital initiatives here, where you can connect with others who share your curiosity or even introduce them to your existing group or society. And if you already have an idea for an initiative, get in touch!

Project
Digging into 14,000 years of A66 archaeology
With over 75 archaeologists, more than 66 hectares excavated, and 548 days of excavation and counting, archaeology on the A66 has uncovered a landscape shaped by thousands of years of travel, trade and people living their everyday lives in the Eden Valley. From Penrith to Brough, these are some of the standout discoveries from the A66 project, and the stories they tell about the people who once lived, worked and travelled through this landscape.
