PittFest: Archaeology

As part of our annual museum day-festival, PittFest, archaeologists and museum professionals will be joining us to give short talks sharing insights into their current research. Event info: If you like your archaeology experimental, join us at our fourth annual PittFest. Free-drop in workshops and demonstrations including prehistoric fire lighting, preparing hides the Stone Age way, wattle and daubing and knapping your own knife. You can even dissect replica coprolites (fossilised poo!) and take part in a ‘Detective Dig’. Experts will take to the ‘Archaeology Soapbox’, sharing insights into their current research and visitors can handle archaeological finds, including objects collected by General Pitt-Rivers himself. Live music, beer tent (what would a meeting for archaeologists be without an ale or two?) and refreshments throughout the day. Activities for all ages – not just the kids
