Altogether Archaeology in the North Pennines AONB

Altogether Archaeology

550 volunteers. More joining, none leaving!Simple structure that can work anywhere!

Serious, high quality, original research, important in its own right but also to inform effective, integrated future landscape management.

Training of individual volunteers and local groups in a range of fieldwork techniques, from traditional to ultra-modern. Local groups now designing their own projects.

Fun, and lots of it!

Fundamental aim of Altogether Archaeology is that:

NORTH PENNINES PEOPLE BECOME ACTIVE PRODUCERS AND OWNERS OF THEIR HERITAGE, RATHER THAN PASSIVE CONSUMERS OF A HERITAGE PRESENTED TO THEM BY ‘EXPERTS’.
