External engagement

We believe that through offering a unique insight into humanity's collective past, archaeology has the capacity to connect and inspire people of all ages and backgrounds. We take pride in sharing our research with the wider community, collaborating with schools, colleges, community groups, companies and public organisations in the UK and across the world.
