Dig into Worcestershire’s history at Worcestershire Archaeology Day

The annual event has been running for over 30 years and will come back to The Hive following a break due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The day will include a series of talks by members of staff and community groups, as well as a look at recent archaeological excavations and projects.

Paul Hudson, Outreach manager at Worcestershire County Council, said, "Our Archaeology Day is always very popular as it is a great chance to find out about projects and digs which have been taking place. After a break last year, we are pleased to be able to come back again this year."

The event will be held on Level 0 in The Hive and booking is now open for talks.

Talks include:

• Fascinating Finds 2020/21
• A Wetland Landscape – later prehistoric waterlogged remains and burnt mounds at Worcester Six
• Iron Age farm at Welland
• Roman decapitation cemetery
• Portable Antiquities Scheme
• Putting the pieces together: excavation at Main Street, Sedgeberrow
• Protection marks in buildings
• Worcester Charter 400 – Linking Documentary Sources to surviving buildings
