Since DV launched in 2012, we've met thousands of people from around the world who love archaeology...
You guys are the gas in our tank, the peas in our pod, the peanut butter to our jelly. We'd be nothing without you! Together, we've made LOADS of great archaeology happen - and we're far from finished!
Join Our Team
In case you haven’t noticed, we love what we do. We adore archaeology. We love dirt, all kinds of dirt, all the time. We love finding stuff, but we also love NOT finding stuff. We love spending weeks in the lab, staring into a microscope until we’ve forgotten the smell of fresh air. If it’s archaeology, it’s all good with us. But most of all, we love sharing it!
Becoming a DigVentures Subscriber is your way to get even closer to the work we do, whether you just want to dip a toe in, jump straight into the trenches, or learn more online. And did we mention the FUN?

What Our Subscribers Say



Subscription FAQs
BECAUSE WE’RE AWESOME, THAT’S WHY! Sheeeeeesh.
DigVentures is not like other archaeology organisations. We do archaeology that is for everyone. Whether it’s digs that you can join, investigations that can only happen with your support, or exciting new ways to enjoy our discoveries online, we work our tooshies off all year round to put amazing archaeology ‘in your hands’.
Maybe you love archaeology and want to learn more, but don’t feel comfortable in an academic environment. Maybe you always dreamed of being an archaeologist, but life got in the way. Maybe you love seeing youngsters getting hands-on with history. We’re here for you!
We invite you into our trenches to dig with our team, into our Finds Rooms to work with artefacts, into our online courses to learn new skills and techniques, and to join in with the many other events that happen across all of our projects.
Because archaeology doesn’t stop when we close our trenches at the end of Field Season. DV Subscriptions is our way of supporting the great archaeology we do, all year round. Most importantly, it’s about putting you right where you belong: in the pickle jar! Right in the middle of the action.
In fact, that’s one of the most important things about becoming a Subscriber: you can be part of our work from anywhere in the world.
DV was born digital, which means that we’ve been sharing our discoveries online since the very first day of our very first dig. We’ve learned SO MUCH about what you guys like to watch, what you don’t like, what you’d like more of, and the kinds of things we can offer to scratch your archaeological itch.
So as well as creating new opportunities to be involved with us in person, we’ll also be using our Subscriptions to create more archaeology that you can enjoy at home (for kids too!)
If you want any or all of the above to happen, then that’s why you should subscribe to DigVentures and help us put archaeology ‘in your hands’.
PS. You can find out more about us by reading Our Story.
Rainbows and unicorns spontaneously appear, glitter rains down from the ceiling, and you will hear the Indiana Jones theme song blasting out of every speaker in your house! It’s a neat trick we figured out how to do.
KIDDDINNGGGGGG, that won’t really happen (but it would be fun, wouldn’t it?)
We will send you an email with all the information you will need to know about what your Subscription includes, how to access all of DV’s activities, and all of the links and places where you can find us online.
We will leave no stone unturned in making sure you know how to get the most out of your subscription … and if we DO leave a stone unturned, we probably did it on purpose so that you could find whatever is underneath it!
See above. Rainbows. Unicorns. Glitter. And information … lots and lots of information.
You will also begin to receive our newsletter, which is where we make all of our announcements, and Subscribers will receive special notifications in advance of everyone else.
You can also always call us on +44 0333 011 3990, or email hello@digventures.com.
Or you can find us on twitter, facebook and Instagram, smoke signals, hot air balloons, and those little airplanes that have banners behind them. THERE IS NO ESCAPE.
Waaheyyyyyy, yes you can, and here’s how.
If you only want to make a one-off contribution, you have two choices:
- You can throw us a financial contribution in our Pay It Forward Tip Jar. We’ll use this to do more lab analysis, create new online content, or make a place for someone who can’t otherwise afford it.
- You can support one of our crowdfunding campaigns if you’re interested in one excavation in particular.
We will not need proof of your student status in order for you to subscribe as a student, however we will require proof of enrollment in order for you to use the 20% off Student Discount for booking digs and places in the Finds Room.
Please don’t leave us! Stick around, kid, I’m sure we’ll find something to amaze, enthrall, amuse, mystify and capture your heart.
If we don’t manage it and you still need to break up, just call us, send an email (the address is in your Welcome To DV information) with your Subscriber info and we’ll take care of it. We’ll be sad though…
