Pathways into the Past: Stepping into History

Mercat Centre, Milton

Thursdays, from 1st September-6th October

6.30-9.00pm

Taking ancient routeways as a theme, these sessions offer an introduction to landscape archaeology for all those who want to research and record their local archaeology. We will look at to how archaeologists go about research and then at some of the sources, such as historic maps and aerial photographs, available to them.

In addition to the indoor sessions, there will be an opportunity to follow part of the routeway on the ground, identifying and recording features along the way.

Cost: £2.50 / free to those on benefits.

ALL WELCOME! No experience necessary.

Help with childcare costs is available.
