We've created archaeology learning boxes, which have been sent out to schools across Cambridgeshire, sharing our discoveries from the A14 Cambridge-Huntingdon Scheme excavations.

From prehistoric pottery, to Roman food, early medieval music, and a medieval courtroom debate, the learning boxes bring archaeology to life through a series of exciting and engaging activities for children working at Key Stage 2 level.

We've also made all the activities available online for everyone to enjoy - you can use these in your classroom, for home learning, cub / brownies groups, or just for fun!
