Archaeology South-East Digs Deeper

Episode 7 - The Whitehawk Camp Community Project, with Jon Sygrave


Listen Later

Project manager Jon Sygrave is on the show to talk about the Whitehawk Camp Community project. This exciting project, based in Brighton, East Sussex, focussed on archaeological finds excavated nearly a century ago from this Neolithic (c.3500BC) Causewayed Enclosure.
As part of the project, a series of volunteering opportunities, workshops and events were run at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, Whitehawk Hill and other venues. Volunteers learnt how to catalogue and examine archaeological finds, undertake geophysical survey, excavate archaeological remains and undertake conservation work to the monument. A series of outreach events also examined themes such as our relationship with food, the bio-diversity of Whitehawk Hill and Whitehawk Hill's relationship with the wider Downland landscape.
