Children will experience what it’s like to be an archaeologist by learning how to excavate the remains of a Viking house! During their dig for Viking treasures and artefacts, they also learn about the lifestyles of their Viking ancestors, guided by a team of professional working archaeologists. 

The School of Irish Archaeology will bring history to life by demonstrating and explaining how the objects uncovered during the dig were used in day-to-day life during the Viking era.
