British Archaeology has a venerable tradition of amateur archaeology and many of today’s professionals started off as volunteers. Canterbury Archaeological Trust is committed to encouraging enthusiasts and providing opportunities for people to get involved, please see the section on volunteers.

As a first step we invite you to become a Friend of the Trust, which you can do by clicking the link on the right.

If you want to pursue a career in archaeology many UK Universities offer degree courses, including both the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University. Another useful source of information is the Council For British Archaeology website.
