The award is presented to the individual who has ‘delivered exceptional archaeological work within their communities’ and who ‘helps to sustain our cultural heritage for future generations, as well as inspiring others to share their love of archaeology’.

Mayfield has delivered his first two community projects at Greenwich Park, part of the Maritime World Heritage Site, through Greenwich Park Revealed, an £8 million, 4-year investment to restore the park’s historic landscape and share its stories.

Many more community archaeology projects are planned for Greenwich Park.
