Excavating

Volunteer

Volunteers assist MVAC in a variety of capacities, depending on their level of interest, experience and expertise.

During MVAC’s Field Survey Opportunity, volunteers work with our staff to explore local fields for unreported archaeological sites. 

Local collectors volunteer their time to display and discuss their personal collections of artifacts.  Come to the Artifact Show held each spring at Valley View Mall and see artifacts representing the area’s long history.

Volunteers trained in field techniques can assist staff with rescue operations.  Volunteers were called to help with the excavation at the Second Fort Crawford project in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, during the summer of 1999.

The Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center’s Board of Directors is made up of elected volunteers from the tri-state area and beyond.  These dedicated professionals have a strong interest in archaeology and spend a great deal of time and energy supporting the mission of MVAC. 

If you are interested in volunteering and would like more information, contact MVAC at 608-785-8454 or Jean.  We would love to put your experience to work!
