Pots and clay pipes: identifying archaeological finds

Back by popular demand following last year's sell-out event, join Dr Naomi Payne, archaeological finds specialist, for a hands-on workshop exploring archaeological artefacts found in the ground. From potsherds to clay pipes, you’ll learn how to recognise and interpret different types of archaeological finds, especially those commonly uncovered in the Blackdown Hills area.

What to expect:

An introduction to identifying archaeological finds
Learn about different types of pottery, clay pipes, and more
Handle real artefacts and learn through touch and observation
Discover what finds can tell us about everyday life in the past
Bring your own finds – have artefacts at home? Naomi can help identify them!
