Dig Bowhill An Introduction to Archaeology Workshop

3 hr Workshops starting 10am and 1.30 suitable for 14+yrs £10 per sesion

The landscape of the Bowhill Estate is rich in archaeological remains from many different eras. To celebrate Visit Scotland’s year of History, Heritage and Archaeology 2017, we are hosting an introduction to archaeology aimed at beginners.

A stone’s throw away from our courtyard lies the site of a pre-Roman fort. In four sessions, lasting 3 hours each, we plan to investigate this site using a series of test pits to try to better understand this part of Bowhill’s ancient past. The finds will be analysed post-excavation with the help of experts, and participants will have the chance to attend a presentation on the results.

If you have an interest in archaeology, come and join us for as many of the sessions as you like over the weekend. All materials and instruction provided.

Workshops at 10.00am and 1.30pm, lasting 3 hours each.

Not suitable for under 14s.

Booking essential. For more information or to secure your place, please call 01750 22204 or email [email protected].
