Digging up the past

Digging up the past

Programme - Years 1-13, ESOL

This activity provides 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 learn the importance of archaeology to a place like the Howick Historical Village. An educational and enjoyable treasure hunt!
