he AWH digs regularly into the history of Haarlem and her inhabitants.
We do this under the auspices of the municipal archaeologist. Outside Haarlem we work under the auspices of the province Noord-holland.
Every wednesday-evening we clean the finds (mostly potsherds), look if we can put them together and determine them. We also work out the notes and drawings made during the fieldwork in order to get a picture of Haarlems history. The excavations are eventually published in the municipal magazine Haarlems Bodemonderzoek. We also publish in Westerheem, the magazine of the AWN.

ue to the fact that we've practiced archaeology actively for thirty years we've got an enormous amount of material (potsherds, objects and documentation like sketches, photos and slides). Some objects show such an amount of interest that they are exhibited permanently at the Archeologisch Museum Haarlem.

The Archeologisch Museum Haarlem can be found at Grote Markt 16K in the basement of the Vleeshal and is open from wednesday to sunday from 13.00 to 17.00 hours. The admission is free.

The AWH also keeps a register up to date about the archaeological reseach in Haarlem. Not only the research done by the AWH but also research done by the town-archaeologist, the state and private persons. Right now the register contains more than 750 sites of find in Haarlem.
