Many hands make light work

The second day of Dig for Three days brought more groups from local schools to learn about the archaeology of the Roman period, in Thanet and beyond. Another 150 aspiring archaeologists passed through our Dig and Discover activity tent to find out what evidence archaeologists use to piece together the way of life of the Romans. The groups on this second day were from both mainstream and special needs schools in Thanet, but all were able to take part in digging and discovering in the sands of time, well at least the sand in our dig boxes.

We are all looking forward to our third day tomorrow, with a busy timetable programmed.
