Hands on History

Tuesdays 7th & 21st July & 4th & 18th August

at Roman Vindolanda in the Activity Centre.

The chance to chat to one of our local experts at Vindolanda and find out what excavating at Vindolanda is like and their favourite finds.

Learn what an archaeologist does when they are not excavating and how we use aerial photography and other technology to help us learn more about both of our archaeological sites.

Find out more about the history of Vindolanda and Magna Roman forts and get hands on with a range of finds from the excavations. An opportunity to see how different conditions affect what types of artefacts we find and what condition they are in.
