Day of Archaeology

As part of the CBA Festival of British Archaeology, 400 archaeologists from across the world are chronicling what they do today!

A day in the life of 400 archaeologists

The Day of Archaeology 2011 is an online project that aims to give a window into the daily lives of archaeologists, allowing archaeologists working all over the world to document what they do on one day – July 29th 2011 – organised as part of the CBA Festival of British Archaeology which its taking place until the 31st July.

Archaeologists taking part in the project will document their day through photographs, videos and written blog posts. These will then be collected on the Day of Archaeology website, which will provide a glimpse into a day in the life of people working in archaeology, from archaeological excavations to laboratories, universities, community archaeology groups, education services, museums and offices. With over 400 contributors, from those in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers, the project is already off to an exciting start!
