Archaeological Dig Experience

trowelIn this new OpenSTEM workshop developed and run by our resident archaeologist Claire, we set up a mock archaeological dig in a sandpit (or long jump pit) so that students can get a taste of life as an archaeologist.

History has never been so cool!

Scientific Investigation

Much more than just an interactive experience, we run the archaeological dig as a full scientific investigation. Students cover not only the basics of archaeology, but also how to conduct a scientific investigation.

For more information, see the Archaeological Dig workshop page.

Introduction to Archaeology

Claire Reeler has created a KhanAcademy style video about the basic methods used by archaeologists to construct “A Story of Our Time”.
