DIG: an archaeological adventure

DIG is an educational resource owned by the York Archaeological Trust which aims to increase understanding of archaeology and related matters.

DIG is based in the redundant medieval church of St Saviour in York, and was acquired by the Trust in 1975. Between 1990 and 2005, the building was called the Archaeological Resource Centre. In April 2006, it reopened as DIG.

Activities in which visitors can engage include:

  • Discovering techniques used by field archaeologists
  • Investigating scientific techniques used by archaeologists
  • Finding out about current archaeological digs and viewing recent finds
  • Learning more about the history of York
