Back by popular demand following last year’s sell-out event, join Dr Naomi Payne, archaeological finds specialist, for a hands-on workshop exploring archaeological artefacts found in the ground. From potsherds to clay pipes, you’ll learn how to recognise and interpret different types of archaeological finds, especially those commonly uncovered in the Blackdown Hills area.

What to expect:

• An introduction to identifying archaeological finds
• Learn about different types of pottery, clay pipes, and more
• Handle real artefacts and learn through touch and observation
• Discover what finds can tell us about everyday life in the past

Bring your own finds – have artefacts at home? Naomi can help identify them!

This event is part of the Blackdown Hills Landscape Festival of Heritage and Heritage Open Days
