There's a new article on the renamed 'Archaeology in Practice' page (formerly archaeological techniques).  

Why the name change? Well, I'm starting to write articles about how people of all ages can become practically involved in archaeology. The latest, 'Archaeology for Kids' deals with the different ways young enthusiasts can become involved in archaeology.  

The question of responsible supervision is a theme running throughout. This is vital for several reasons: so that the young people involved learn techniques correctly, safely and with adults who have been cleared to work with children. 

I know that this is a concern for many parents and something that stops many people from allowing their children to go on digs. As I say in the article and will again here, if in doubt, check to find out if supervising adults have been cleared to work with children.
