Event details

Celebrate International Archaeology Day with a naturalist as we dig deeper into the role of an archaeologist. What do they do? Where do they go? What do they find? Participants will have the chance to be archaeologists themselves as we piece together clues about history and humankind. Participants will play some games, get crafty and do some scientific work!
