Discover Archaeology! A Children's Lecture

Join archaeologist Elaine Lynch for an exciting introduction to the world of archaeology. Discover what happens during an archaeological excavation, learn about fascinating artefacts uncovered across Ireland, and explore sites from different periods of Irish history.

You’ll see real excavation photographs, including images of archaeological excavations and human skeletons, while learning how archaeologists piece together stories from the past. (Please note that this talk includes images of human remains.)

After the talk, young explorers will create their own medieval clay tile using traditional moulds and clay to take home.

Perfect for curious children who love history, discovery and getting hands-on.
