Dissecting the dirt: Stratigraphic analysis

Join community archaeologist Alexis and get hands-on with history!

Unlock a realm of transferable skills such as project management and leadership as you assist in organizing and supporting our Young Archaeologists Club. Led by our community archaeologist, Alexis, these full-day sessions offer immersive hands-on experiences designed to equip you with invaluable skills for the future.

You’ll kickstart by contributing to our Young Archaeologists’ Club, then progress to planning and leading upcoming sessions later in the term. Dive into afternoons filled with in-depth, practical archaeological training, honing skills essential not only in the field but across various career paths.

Stratigraphic analysis

Dive into the importance of stratigraphy in the archaeological process. Learn how sites form through layers and how recording processes during excavation are used to analyse the development and changes over time. This analysis is essential for interpreting an archaeological excavation and forms the core of understanding site evolution.
