Volunteer in the Archaeology Lab
Did you know that for every day archaeologists spend in the field they spend about a week in the laboratory washing, sorting and analyzing the artifacts that they uncover? The laboratory component of archaeology is where the story of the past starts to come together as archaeologists analyze artifacts and add to our collective human history. Now you can help the SCDNR Archaeology team as a laboratory volunteer! Visit the Heritage Trust Program website (https://heritagetrust.dnr.sc.gov/volunteer.html) for more information about this and other volunteer opportunities.
