Urban Archaeology Days

Like a real scientist, you'll be guided through the identification of clues revealing ancient periods. Everything is designed to familiarise you with the laboratory work of archaeologists. It's a fun activity open to everyone, young and old. Ready to investigate the mysteries of the past?
