Battle of Bannockburn Archaeology Workshop

Join us at the Battle of Bannockburn for our expert-led, fun filled archaeology workshop, where participants will get to discover the process of a battlefield dig.

This 4 hour workshop will include the following activities:

• Exploring maps of the battlefield
• Using real archaeological techniques to excavate (replica) medieval finds
• Discussing our finds and who we think they would have belonged to
• Trying on replica battle equipment to put ourselves in the shoes of a solider at the battle

Partaking in this workshop will also achieve particiants a Heritage Hero Explorer Award, certified by Archaeology Scotland. Certificates will be handed out at the end of the workshop.
