History at Home Live!

Join us for a special Festival of Archaeology episode of History at Home Live! where English Heritage expert Matt Thompson will be talking to CBBC’s Ben Shires about archaeology through the ages. Archaeological sites have always faced threats, from wildlife to treasure hunters, construction to climate change, the theme of this year’s festival. Find out how English Heritage care for archaeological sites, ensuring people now and in the future will be able to enjoy and learn from them. Explore the ever-increasing role of science in archaeology and how technology offers opportunities to tackle some of the hardest questions about the past that early archaeologists could only dream of being able to answer! And discover how sometimes, the best thing to do as an archaeologist, is not to go ‘digging’ for answers at all.
