Description
Step into the role of an archaeologist and discover how history is really uncovered. Excavate a simulated archaeological site, analyse genuine-style finds, reconstruct an ancient Athenian household and leave with your own replica artefact. Under the guidance of an expert archaeologist, you'll excavate a simulated trench, uncovering replica artifacts and learning how to clean and analyze your findings. This unique opportunity reveals the techniques used by archaeologists to date pottery and reconstruct the lives of ancient Athenians. Participants will leave with a museum-quality replica artifact and a personalized excavation find card, making this a perfect adventure for history enthusiasts and aspiring archaeologists alike.
