“But I've never done archaeology before…”

Perfect.

You don't need to arrive knowing how to excavate.
You'll learn.
At Strata Florida Archaeology Field School, the programme is designed to welcome people with no previous archaeological experience as well as those looking to develop existing skills.
You'll learn practical techniques and work alongside experienced archaeological staff.
So if you've always wanted to try archaeology but didn't know where to start...

Start here!

Gyda'r haul yn codi trwy niwl y bore, oerni yn yr awyr a gwlith ar y glaswellt, mae boreau tawel yr hydref yn Ystrad Fflur yn rhywbeth arbennig iawn.

With the sun rising through the morning mist, a chill in the air and dew on the grass, peaceful autumnal mornings at Strata Florida are something truly special.
