The archaeology of Merseyside is extremely rich and varied. Humans have been modifying the landscape for more than 10,000 years. This talk with curator Vanessa Oakden, Curator of Regional and Community Archaeology, will explore the archaeology of the region through the lens of seven fascinating excavations, highlighting some key finds and what they can tell us about this place in the past.
This talk is part of our Festival of Archaeology programming.
There are 30 tickets available for this event, which takes place in Education Area 3, on the first floor of the Museum of Liverpool, at 2pm.
Tickets cost £7 and will go on sale 60 days before the event via the booking link on this page.
