Dig

Grab a trowel and enter DIG, the archaeological adventure. You will investigate replicas of some of the most important digs in York and reveal some of the most significant finds that have changed the way we think about life in Roman, Viking, Medieval and Victorian times.

What tells us that the Roman Soldiers were keen gamblers? What grave goods can be found with the monk buried on the Fishergate site? All will be revealed under the rubber gravel at DIG.

As you continue through DIG you will learn how archaeologists analyse the information they find on site, how finds are recorded, and what dirt and bugs would be found in a typical Victorian house.

When you finish your archaeological training you will then see how all of the information is put together in a 3D audiovisual tour of what life would have been like in the periods that you have investigated.
