Field School Themes Excavation and Field Work Excavation is how archaeologists learn about people and places in the past. Traces are left by ruins, material culture, biological remains โ€“ both human and environmeโ€ฆ

The countdown is on and are students arrive in less than two weeks! So what will they get up to? Explore some of the themes our students will engage in during the 4-week field school.
