Londinium. Lundenwic. Lundenburg. These are just some of the names given to London over the past two thousand years. But are these words all that’s left of London from centuries past? Or do these ancient cities still exist beneath our feet?

Join our team of ace archaeologists and help us uncover some of London’s oldest archaeology. Dig down through the centuries in your own trench and unearth real objects made and used centuries ago. Work together to discover what they are as well as what the site had once been.

What will you reveal? A Tudor townhouse? Roman ruins? Or even artefacts from a time before London ever existed at all?

In this hour-long session, families will:

• learn what archaeology is and what archaeologists do

• excavate specially-built trenches based on a real archaeological site in London

• uncover and handle genuine artefacts from London’s past

• discuss finds to learn what they were and how they were used

All equipment is provided – including your hard hat, high-vis vest, trowel, activity sheets and brushes.
