Subject
Archaeology study trips
Archaeology finds out how people lived from what they left behind. These trips take students to some of the world's richest sites, from the fossil beds where early humans were found to temples, fortresses and desert cities. Students meet archaeologists, curators and conservators, learn how evidence is excavated, dated and interpreted, and see how the past is protected for the future.
