Events
This is an opportunity for you to delve into all periods of British
archaeology and to gain archaeological skills, learn about artefacts,
investigate local buildings and landscapes and witness interpretations
of the past.
During National Archaeology Week 2007 you can take part in a huge
variety of events from assisting in excavations to family fun days, from
guided tours of landscapes and buildings to hands-on archaeological
activity days and from finds identification to storytelling, talks,
exhibitions and much more. All archaeological periods will be
represented from prehistory to twenty-first century archaeology.
The aim of this annual event is to encourage young people and their
families to visit sites of archaeological/historical interest or
museums, heritage and resource centres, to see archaeology in action and
to take part in activities on-site. David Lammy, Minister for Culture,
supporting a NAW event in his local area in 2006, commented that 'there
is a huge fascination with the past and National Archaeology Week is
helping everyone get their hands on history'.
Co-ordinated by the Council for British Archaeology and its Young
Archaeologists' Club - and supported by English Heritage - National
Archaeology Week is the ideal opportunity to investigate and enjoy
archaeology. Make sure you find out what events are happening near you!
