The US Park Service often cooperates with archaeologists and volunteers who work under supervision of an archaeology team. You can contact the US Park Service to ask about projects coming up.

Or, you can contact a university that has an archaeology department. If they have a project in your area or within a distance that you are willing to travel, you might get a chance to volunteer with them.

I tried this once. A university near me was doing a local project to give their students some field work experience. So I volunteered.
