ABOUT

PAST Project was established in 2016 out of the need to provide a reliable, quiet, portable and simple to use mechanical sieve for archaeological excavations. 

Each mechanical sieve has been designed and manufactured to take into account OH&S requirements, as well as being ergonomically designed for use over extended periods of time and for different soil types.

Additionally, table sieves, hand held sieves and excavation equipment have been designed and manufactured by PAST Project to supply archaeologists and Traditional Custodian representatives with the best tools in order for them to complete their projects efficiently and effectively.

All equipment is designed and manufactured in Melbourne.
