Dissecting the dirt
Join our Dissecting the dirt advanced archaeology club for young people aged 16 – 25!
Gain valuable transferable skills including project management and leadership by planning and supporting our Young Archaeologists Club, then get in-depth archaeological training from our community archaeologist, Alexis. These full-day sessions are filled with exciting hands-on opportunities to gain valuable skills for the future!
You’ll start by helping with our Young Archaeologists’ Club and later in the term, you will plan and facilitate the upcoming sessions. In the afternoon you’ll focus on gaining in-depth, practical archaeological training – the skills you’ll learn are useful in the field, but also in many different career paths. The sessions will be informative, interesting and will give you a chance to get creative!
Saturday 19 November – Site formation
What are the processes involved in the formation of an archaeological site and how do archaeologists interpret them? What causes land build up and how are features interpreted? This session looks at the processes which create ‘archaeology’ in the form of both positive and negative impacts.
