#AskAnArchaeologist Day 2025

The 2025 #AskAnArchaeologist Day will take place on Friday 25 July - get your questions ready!

#AskAnArchaeologist Day on X (formerly Twitter) is an official part of the CBA Festival of Archaeology and is a chance for people from all over the world to ask archaeologists questions and an opportunity for archaeologists to share their knowledge.

Anyone with access to X (formerly Twitter) can ask a question using the #AskAnArchaeologist hashtag and any archaeologist who has an answer is encouraged to respond. You can also follow the official #AskAnArchaeologist Day account @AskAnArchDay where the Festival team will be sharing some of the day's top posts and keeping you up to date with opportunities to put your questions to some of the UK's leading archaeologists.

This year for the first time we will also be on Instagram and Bluesky so if they are you preferred platforms please join us there.

There’s nothing too formal about the day and there's no such thing as a silly question – whatever you want to know about archaeology, ask away and someone will (hopefully) know the answer. Since the event began in 2018, people from all over the world have taken part with lots of fascinating questions and discussions taking place.

For more information take a look at our FAQ page.

That’s it really! In the meantime, spread the word and get thinking of questions (or polishing up your answers).

You can find us on the following social media channels:

• X (formerly Twitter) - include the hashtag #AskAnArchaeologist in your post and follow us on @AskAnArchDay and @archaeologyuk. 
• Instagram - @archaeologyuk
• TikTok - @archaeologyuk
• Bluesky - @archaeologyuk.bsky.social‬

If you tag @AskAnArchDay or @archaeologyuk we'll get a notification of your question and can share it on our feed too. If you want a specific person to answer you can also include their handle. 

We encourage people to use video to post their questions and answers.
