An opportunity for students to participate in their own mini archaeological dig. Students use special equipment to dig for a variety of artifacts which are buried in sand-filled boxes. All findings are recorded by students in their own booklets. Students learn how archaeology tells us of our past and they earn the importance of archaeology to a place like the Howick Historical Village. An educational and enjoyable treasure-hunt!
