Professional archaeological fieldwork and heritage consultancy - with a difference
Sector-leading digital innovation for archaeological workflows, public engagement and impact
Crowdfunding is not just about the money – it’s about the power of the crowd
How We're Different
The cultural economy is connected – and it’s booming. We bring the latest trends and methods to our work with clients and partners
Impact and Evaluation
Data-driven understanding of participation and engagement
- Articulating a Theory of Change is the essential first step for any project. We can guide this process for grant applications and organisational change
- We dig deeper into demographics to build a case for support. Who are your people, what do they want, and how can you connect?
- Cumulative and actionable insights provide a deep understanding of needs, behaviours and intent – in turn providing the juice for strategic decisions, innovation and stand-out projects
Courses and Education
Everyone learns better when they’re having fun
- We build custom Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on our bespoke digital Learning Management System, combined with social media Study Groups to combat drop-off
- Our sites are designed to incorporate formal and informal learning for adults and children, and we also do schools programmes
- Designing educational added value into archaeology projects for both online and in-person learning is one of our things too
Digital Dig Team

- Primary field data is instantly available on open-access, dedicated project websites
- User-friendly design is accessible for non-experts and available in three languages
- Site archives are held in a secure MySQL relational, searchable, downloadable database
