Dig into new archaeology website

Published Wednesday, 13th September 2023

If you love history, make tracks to the new Tees Archaeology website.

Tees Archaeology provides archaeological services to the people and local authorities of Hartlepool and Stockton and aims to raise awareness of our historic environment to ensure it’s protected for future generations.

It maintains a record – the Historic Environment Record – of all the known archaeological sites and historic buildings in the two boroughs, from occasional finds of coins and pottery to World War II pillboxes and medieval villages, and the website explains how people can get details of those.

The website also features reports on past and current projects including Anglo-Saxon Hartlepool, the Heritage of Hart, the Elwick Village Atlas and the Seaton Carew Protected Wreck – the remains of a 19th century collier brig which was likely beached during a storm.

There are also lots of resources to download for free, including booklets and leaflets, plus educational materials including colouring and activity sheets and cut-out models.
