Volunteers Dan and John look for artifacts from the Upper Garden excavation.

 Want to volunteer with Mount Vernon Archaeology?  Our only requirements are that volunteers be 16 or older and have a good attitude -- we'll provide everything else -- from equipment to details on what you are doing.

• January - May 2008  We have opportunities in the lab and occasional field work.
• June - December 2008  We will be doing excavations in the Upper Garden and welcome volunteers to help with the excavation, in the lab and to speak with visitors about the excavation. 

Volunteers help excavate the Dung Repository.
