Tue 26th Jul 2016, Hands-on activity
Tiny pieces of gold are on display in our new special exhibition, Hide & Seek: Looking for Children in the Past. These gold studs decorated the handle of a Bronze Age dagger found in a burial near Stonehenge. The studs are so small that archaeologists had to use magnifying glasses to locate them in the soil!
In a prehistoric world without magnifying glasses, archaeologists believe that only children and teenagers would have been able to position the studs on the handle. We are putting this theory to the test with our scaled up versions of the dagger. Join us to find out who will be the best at fixing the studs, adults or children?
