I work in the Museum of London’s Archaeological Archive, where I get to curate London’s archaeology.
Part of my job is outreach work and today I was involved in an event organised by the ODA at the Museum In Docklands. The event was to launch a series of archaeological activities connected with the redevelopment of the Olympic Park.
Teaching some school children about the Olympic Park finds:
I ran a mock excavation activity, where two local schools got the chance to see what archaeology is all about, learning how to dig like real archaeologists and how to record their findings:
Over the next year I, along with my colleagues, will be involved in similar events promoting and displaying the archaeology of the Olympic Park, including an actual excavation where local communities can actually have a go at digging their local history themselves.
