SHARP - the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project
SHARP (the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project) is a long-term, independently-run archaeological project.
Our primary objective is the investigation of the entire range of human settlement and land use in the north-west Norfolk parish of Sedgeford.
Established in 1996, SHARP is one of the largest independent archaeological projects in Britain and is firmly rooted in the local community. Although only a small village, Sedgeford has an incredibly rich heritage spanning over four thousand years. SHARP is made up of many teams working together to learn more about the history of Sedgeford parish.

SHARP involves up to 50 volunteers each week during its summer season, some taking one of a wide range of training courses, including a week-long introduction to archaeological excavation and recording techniques, others simply taking part in one or other of the wide range of field activities under way at any time.
Though run as an independent charity, SHARP has close links with the wider academic and archaeological world; in particular, at present, with the FeedSax (Feeding Anglo-Saxon England) Project based at the University of Oxford.
