Meet the archaeology team from Bournemouth University at Dorset Museum & Art Gallery. They’ll be on site to share how excavations are carried out, what happens when human remains are discovered, and how those remains are reconstructed for conservation, research, and display. Using life-like cast bones, you’ll get the chance to piece together a full skeleton — can you figure it out?
Drop in. No booking necessary.
