Indoor Dig Julian Richards
Event details
What’s it like to be an archaeologist? And what was life like in the prehistoric past?
Join archaeologist and educator Julian Richards for an exciting ‘indoor dig’, a hands-on activity which introduces children of primary age and above (as well as adults!) to the processes of excavation and the gathering of evidence through interpretation and eventual rebuild.
The clues are there, so become a dig detective and help unearth them!
