Bedford Prep’s Y3 boys enjoyed a hands-on, practical workshop in archaeology, designed and delivered by archaeologist, Dr Catherine Parker Heath. In the fun session the boys learnt about how archaeologists study the past by looking at the remains people leave behind.
The boys then got to carry out their own excavations with sand trays (trenches) that had different items buried inside them. Using trowels and paintbrushes the boys unveiled their very own hidden treasures. It was a great afternoon’s work!
