Welcome to the Defence Archaeology Group

Defence Archaeology Group (DAG) is a Not for Profit organisation that facilitates  archaeological projects around Britain and abroad.

By utilising Vocational Recovery Activities, whilst fostering links with institutions and archaeological schemes, DAG supports a diverse outreach programme focusing on both the technical and social aspects of field archaeology to help with the recovery, management and skill development of tri-service injured military personnel.

DAG facilitated projects offer participants opportunities to learn new skills and undertake comprehensive training using various aspects of archaeology and heritage management, that compliment both Service and Veteran recovery programmes.
