Isn't Archaeology Rubbish?

Have you ever stopped to think about what your rubbish says about you? Is our rubbish really waste or could the next sweet wrapper we throw away be a clue for archaeologists of the future?

Our rubbish can tell us how we are affecting the planet but also, it can provide an insight as to who we are, what we eat and what we value. Join Wessex Archaeology as we take a light-hearted look at the role of rubbish in the past and the future! You can chat to the filmmakers during the premiere and after the showing. Following the release of the video we will be sharing some ideas for creative archaeology activities you can do at home. If you're inspired to get creative we would love to see the results! Please share your photos on social media and include the hashtag #RubbishArt.

This event was recorded during the 2020 Festival of Archaeology and you can watch the recording via the link below.
