Have you ever wondered what it's like to be an archaeologist? What is archaeology? What do archaeologists do?

Join us during Archaeology Week for a chance to be an archaeologist for the day and explore the fascinating world of uncovering history. 

Learn about the methods and technology used by archaeologists. Solve puzzles and discover how people used to live, what they ate and what tools they used.

Join us in the Orientation Space in the South Atrium to meet our archaeologists and try hands-on activities such as bone and shell sorting, reconstructing pottery and much more!
