JFArchaeology community archaeology excavations on mainland Finland and the Åland islands 2022

Having left the wonderful 2021 excavation season behind us we are now planning new exiting fieldwork for 2022.

Almost all of the planned excavations are within the field of community archaeology which means that you don´t need any previous knowledge of archaeology in order to participate. Children under 14 years of age can join our team in the company of an adult.  The participation fee usually varies depending on the organizer.
