“Volunteering on the King’s Park fort project was a 10/10, and I would encourage anyone who has an interest in archaeology to sign up. I flew over from the United States to experience a genuine archaeological dig, and I’m so glad I did. With zero prior experience and never having been to Scotland, I was very nervous leading up to my first day. Once I got to the site however, all of my worries melted away! Everyone working on the project was friendly and welcome, and I quickly made friends with my fellow volunteers. Murray did an excellent job of giving clear and concise instructions, and explaining the historical context of the site. He truly brought each artifact to life, which motivated everyone to continue digging, brushing, and recording throughout the day. It was such an honor it was to uncover bits and pieces of Roman-era history, and I would love to participate on another dig again!”
