Lincolnshire Young Archaeologists Club

2024 Update

Dear Young Archaeologists + Friends,

Thank you for your patience whilst we have been reviewing our programme for YAC over the last few months.

We have had to review our current capacity and resource, and after much careful consideration, we are sorry to tell you that we will no longer be able to facilitate sessions for the Young Archaeologists Club.

One of the main reasons for this is because we don’t currently have the availability of specialists within the learning team  to deliver these sessions. We understand and regret the disappointment this may bring especially to our young enthusiasts.

We are committed to continuing our work in inspiring and educating young minds in history, heritage and archaeology.

We have thoroughly enjoyed running the Young Archaeologists Club and working with bright young people over the last few brilliant years and we hope you will stay connected with any future events through subscribing to our general updates mailing list.

Thank you again from all of us at Heritage Lincolnshire.

If you have any questions, please do get in touch with us at learning@heritagelincolnshire.org.

 

Memories of YAC : We had a great time at our first Summer Term Archaeology Club last year on Saturday 30th April 2022.

 
We worked with LAG and Jane Young to explore ceramics. The members were introduced to and got to handle lots of different types of pottery, including several types of 'puzzle' or trick jugs. They then decorated their own plant pots, broke them (with appropriate PPE of course!) and practiced reconstruction by putting them back together again.
 
Looks like they had a great time!

(Lincolnshire Young Archaeologists Club is a drop-off club for children aged 8-16 years with an interest in history and archaeology.

We are affiliated with Young Archaeologists Club nationally which is run by the Council for British Archaeologists.)
