Join the Bamburgh Research Project for a post-exacavation taster week
The post-excavation taster week will use the BRP’s extensive archive, which consists of material from the prehistoric to the medieval periods, as the basis for an introduction to the different post-excavation techniques and research methodologies employed by the project.
We are still planning the daily schedule but the week will include:
- a general introduction to finds processing (bulk and small finds)
- hands-on training to record, draw and photograph artefacts from the site
- live demo and handling session with a medieval textile specialist
- introduction to environmental sampling and processing
- guided tour of Bamburgh Castle, related Anglo-Saxon burial ground and the new ossuary and Bamburgh Bones exhibition
- guided visit to Lindisfarne
