Archaeology and Nature Resource Pack: Festival of Archaeology 2026!

To celebrate the 2026 Festival of Archaeology, the Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC) have created a bumper resource pack with six new activity ideas based on the Festival’s theme of Archaeology and Nature.

Archaeology and nature are interconnected revealing how humans have lived with, shaped, and been shaped by the environment around them. By exploring the past using the climate, geology, animals, plants, landscapes and the effect of nature on archaeological sites and buildings today, we can understand how places and communities evolve and develop.

The pack has been created by members of the Council for British Archaeology’s Youth Advisory Board and university placement students.
