Course Overview
Feeling inspired to travel and learn what is under your feet from centuries past? This is a great opportunity to investigate how we know what we know and why it matters. Learn about a murder that happened hundreds of years ago and more about life in the Stone Age, discover how to excavate your own test-pit and report it, learn more about osteoarchaeology, burial archaeology, animal bones, watch archaeologists at work, and take part in the actual excavations! Return home with not just a true and deeper understanding of the importance of archaeology, but with new skills as well.
