Local archaeology for home educators
Sessions in 2012
28 May
14.00-15.00
Ages 7-11 (Key Stage 2)
How do archaeologists find out what has happened in a particular area? Students will investigate how archaeologists use excavated artefacts and archive documents to help them unravel local mysteries. The session involves object handling, using objects from a British sample area to explore processes which can be applied more broadly.
Sessions last 60 minutes and have been designed specifically for home educated groups.
