Places are still available for this years field season at the Sedgeford Aerodrome in Norfolk.
We currently plan to investigate and record the visible remains of several areas of buildings identified as being related to the First World War use of the aerodrome. In addition we will be investigating an area that seems to have been used as a dump. This will involve the excavation and collection of a range of material culture. The plan is to set up a finds processing station within the building that housed the Officers Quarters during the First World War.
We will be running two volunteer weeks for experienced diggers and a one week course as an introduction to Modern Conflict Archaeology.
