We are very happy to announce that the Broomlands Community Excavation has been nominated in the Current Archaeology Awards category "Rescue Dig of the Year", after appearing in the magazine in an article written by DR Lynda Howard in CA issue 255.

This is great recognition for the hard work and dedication all the volunteers put into this excavation. The preliminary Broomlands excavation report is available on our UK Projects page

 

 

This year Grampus is celebrating our 10th year sending archaeology students and recent graduates on Leonardo Da Vinci funded placements to excavate on archaeological sites all over Europe. We look forward to the next 10 years!
