DIG Education
 Step
through the doors of DIG and open a whole new world of discovery.
Whether you are looking for
a visit which offers a completely different educational experience
or just a fun day out we can guarantee that you will not be
disappointed with a visit to DIG.
DIG offers a unique experience with many options
for creative learning, offering activities for all from the
youngest of children right through to adult education.
Students can uncover the history of the archaeology
of York and take part in activities which cover a range of
subjects and cross curricular programmes from KS1 – KS4.
At DIG students are given the chance to become an 'Archaeological
Detective' and find out for themselves what York was really
like through the ages, from Roman times to the present day.
DIG
Live and DIG
Live Extra options allow access to a real-live
ongoing archaeological excavation in the heart of the city
of York.
DIG provides stimulating starting points, raising
questions, promoting creativity and encouraging citizenship.
Students will be interested and inspired, seeing new ways
of looking at the world around us.
Learn about the work of many different types
of Archaeologists, including field archaeologists, researchers,
curators, and conservators, and talk to real archaeologists
about their work.
