We played several traditional games at WYAC meetings, such as 9 Mens Morris, dominoes & tiddlywinks, & this inspired some members to focus on games for our Childhood Tales #OrdinaryToExtraordinary project @eh_shoutoutloud @YAC_CBA @HeritageFundUK explorethepast.co.uk/2022/03/childh…
WWII interests many young people, & some of our members chose this as their focus for the #OrdinaryToExtraordinary project. This included interviewing people about their experiences as a child during the war @YAC_CBA @eh_shoutoutloud @HeritageFundUK explorethepast.co.uk/2022/03/childh…
Our #SecretoftheTreasureKeepers competition closes on the 30th April, have you entered yet? 📚 YAC members can win one of six bundles of @AMHowellwrites books. Find out how to enter here 👉 yac-uk.org/news/launching…
We've a display in our cabinets on Level 2 all about the archaeology of the Severn and what has been discovered along the river. This coincides with the @SevernUnlocked exhibition in @TheHiveWorcs. explorethepast.co.uk/2022/04/unlock…
Over the past few months we investigated childhood in the past as part of @eh_shoutoutloud project funded by @HeritageFundUK. What can archaeology & archives tell us? What has survived? @YAC_CBA explorethepast.co.uk/2022/03/childh…
💬 “Part of a generative, community of practice, you can nurture conditions for hopeful actions. That at this time, the stories you help tell matter, not as narratives of forgotten pasts, but as preconditions for better futures.”
This week's #FindsFriday is a pleasingly large section of #Roman samian ware from another of our recent excavations. Samian ware was imported from Gaul and is found all over Britain. It's often possible to identify workshops or individual potters from stamps on the base! (1/2)
