Equipment etc.

Full details of what you need to bring and a suggested reading list will be provided when your booking has been confirmed. However, you may want to start thinking about the following:

• You will need to dress appropriately for excavation in the UK. Bring 'stout' (i.e. walking boots/steel-toe capped work boots) footwear (NOT sandals/trainers/flip flops etc.)
• You will need to bring hats, sun cream and rain wear and don't forget food (packed lunches) and (importantly) an adequate supply of water (there is a water supply on site but in order to stave off potential dehydration your own supply is imperative)
• Also to allow you to do magnetometry, pack some shorts or tracksuit type trousers and T-shirt which do not have ferrous buckles or the like on, and some sneakers or trainers without steel eyelets - most metal fittings on clothing are alloys and not a problem - you can test them with a small magnet. Don't worry if this is a problem as we can kit you out - but likely to be less that high fashion!
• Ensure you have up to date tetanus protection
• If you have your own trowel, please bring it along.
