Archaeology

bulletCome along and help sort the thousands of finds recovered during the Battle of Fulford Project.
bulletWe have identified some weapons from the period and now we want to go through the whole collection to see if we can find more.
bulletWe need your help to photograph and weigh and record all of the material for publication later this year.
bulletWe took samples of pottery from each area and these need washing and identifying. If you have an old toothbrush please bring it along to scrub some shards.

No experience necessary – Experts are on hand to advise and assist.

 

Yorkshire Bayeux Tapestry
