Archaeological Volunteer Opportunities August/September 2019

Thank you everyone who has been able to come and help us with the processing of the finds from the excavation in Grosvenor Park. We have washed everything that needs washing from this year so now we are marking the pottery, ceramic building material and clay tobacco pipes before sorting, bagging and boxing all the finds in material and context order. Over the next few weeks we will be carrying out those tasks and also doing some basic recording of everything we have found.

We would welcome your help and we will be working in the Grosvenor Museum on the following dates:

Tuesday 20 August
Wednesday 21 August
Thursday 22 August

Tuesday 27 August
Wednesday 28 August

The morning sessions will run from 9.30am and the afternoon from 1.30 – 5 pm but you are welcome to arrive any time after 9:30am or 1.30 pm. Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided. If you would like to help please email julie.edwards@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk with the dates and times you are able to attend.

Thank you!
