Join us for a hands-on archaeological workshop exploring and surveying the remains of Hightown’s prehistoric forest using non-invasive archaeological techniques. No previous archaeological experience is required!
During the workshop, our team will introduce you to the survey methods used by archaeologists to record the site using an RTK (Real-Time Kinetic) to GPS locate the remains we find. You’ll have the opportunity to take part in a real archaeological project and contribute to the ongoing study of Hightown’s prehistoric forest.
The preserved tree stumps and root systems are an important part of Sefton's prehistoric landscape, providing valuable evidence of the environment thousands of years ago. As tidal action continues to expose and erode the remains, recording them is essential to improve our understanding of this unique site.
