So come along and experience our &#8216;<i>Indoor Dig<\/i>&#8216;\u00a0 &#8211; and no, it&#8217;s not a box of sand with some finds buried in it! It&#8217;s a way of explaining stratigraphy, planning and interpretation\u00a0 &#8211; all the things that archaeologists need to know and understand.\u00a0 It&#8217;s been experienced by over 3000 school kids in Dorset and Wiltshire over the last few year so you could be the first in Somerset to find out how it works. I&#8217;ve been digging for over 40 years and teaching (lots with Mick Aston) for about 30 years so I certainly wouldn&#8217;t turn up to a MAYA meeting with a box of sand&#8230;..Mick would never forgive me&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Hope to see you on the 8th October.<\/p>\n<p>Julian (Richards)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2015-03-27-09.08.18-Copy-243x300.jpg\" alt=\"2015-03-27 09.08.18 - Copy\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2015-03-27-09.08.18-Copy-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2015-03-27-09.08.18-Copy-768x949.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2015-03-27-09.08.18-Copy-829x1024.jpg 829w, https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2015-03-27-09.08.18-Copy-676x835.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0px currentColor;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2510.0274809067514!2d-3.106781284038353!3d51.01564115435918!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x486df45829810d1b%3A0x9e16edb02e87a7fa!2sThe+Museum+of+Somerset!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1453660840001\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indoor dig or fieldwork activity with Julian Richards It&#8217;s great to go and actually dig on a real site\u00a0 &#8211; get dirty and find stuff (the reason that I went into archaeology in the first place!) but there are other ways of finding out what happens on a dig and how archaeologists use finds to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","post-preview"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":257,"href":"https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57\/revisions\/257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yacsomerset.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
