Looking at archaeological finds in the classroom
From the Stone Age to the Iron Age- How do we find out about prehistory?
Suitable for KS2 but can be adapted to KS1. Cost £150
This session lasting for half a school day looks at how archaeologists work, what sort of things they find and what these finds can tell us about how people lived. A timeline activity helps children to develop an understanding of the long chronology involved. The session is hands-on giving every pupil the chance to handle real archaeological finds and a series of sorting challenges helps them to understand developments from the Stone Age to the Iron Age
The session can also be adapted to look at Romans in Britain.
