Archaeology
Archaeology is a uniquely important part of the historic preservation process. The Trust’s Archaeological Research Committee is a very active volunteer group, undertaking archaeological excavations of historic houses and properties throughout the Island, often partnering with internationally recognized institutions such as the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and the University of Bristol. It also carries out emergency rescue digs of properties before they are developed.

At the Archaeology Lab in Reeve Court, St. George's, volunteers clean, document and catalogue all artefacts recovered from the digs. See the archaeology exhibit in the ground floor of the Tucker House Museum. The volunteers also work on the Summer Archaeology Camps teaching young people the skills and processes involved in a dig. The main project currently is an island-wide archaeological survey and assessment of Bermuda. We also run a series of summer camps which you can view by clicking here.
