Heritage Week Children’s Viking Dig
 |
| Children participating in the ISA Big Dig, Irish School of Archaeology |
Friday 23rd August 2019
To celebrate Heritage
Week 2019, we have invited School of
Irish Archaeology to join us providing hands-on learning for children. The
school will set up their unique ‘Viking House’ and excavation site that allows
children and young adults to explore the Viking world through a simulated archaeology
dig. Children and young adults (4yrs-13yrs) will have the chance to experience
what it is like to be an archaeologist by learning how to excavate the remains
of a Viking house.
As they dig
through the site, participants will unearth Viking treasures and artefacts
dating back 1,000 years. They will learn about the lives of our Viking
ancestors as history is brought to life by qualified archaeologists. Our
educational workshops offer a unique experience that will leave our future
generations fascinated by our ancient ancestors and eager to learn more.
Places are
limited and must be booked at Waterford County Museum on 058 45960 or by email info@waterfordmuseum.ie Gallows Hill
community dig takes place 23rd August to 3rd
September, all are welcome to visit and learn more about the fascinating
discoveries.
