Become an Archaeologist at Auckland Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be an archaeologist? What is archaeology? What do archaeologists do? For Archaeology Week, Auckland Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira is holding a community day, where you can become an archaeologist.

Learn about the methods and technology archaeologists use to solve puzzles and discover how people used to live, what they ate and what tools they used. Meet archaeologists and experience hands on activities such as sorting shell and bone, reconstructing pottery vessels, artefact analysis and so much more!

A series of short videos on everything archaeology can be found here.
