Running an archaeology dig

A dig season brings students, trenches, and thousands of finds to a site for a few short weeks. Basecamp keeps trench notes, finds, and open days in one place, so every discovery gets recorded.

Ridgeway Field School shares finds like a mosaic floor edge on the Message Board, with trench and finds lab photos in Docs & Files. To-dos split trenches and finds, the Calendar holds the drone survey and open day, and Automatic Check-ins log each day’s discoveries.
