#Archaeology

Our Yorkshire Dales YAC were out learning about responsible metal detecting over the weekend and what to do if you find anything you think might be important (contact Portable Antiquities or your local museum if you're wondering). Thanks for sharing 😊

As the #CIfA2024 conference comes to a close, we want to express our gratitude to CIfA and everyone who visited our stall or talks. It's been an inspiring experience connecting with fellow archaeology enthusiasts. Until next time!

Thank you to everyone on our panel for sharing your insights and opinions as part of our Question Time style debate.

And thank you to everyone in our audience who asked questions and got involved in the debate at #CIfA2024

We're delighted to start our panel session at #CIfA2024 , where we're answering questions from our audience.

Our panel of key individuals involved in archaeology and heritage, with diverse lived experiences, are here to share their thoughts!

Do you have any questions?

We're back at part two of our #CIfA2024 session and we're starting with a talk from our Executive Director Neil Redfern on how 'Archaeology needs to find its Aspiration'.
