The Science of Archaeology At Cambridge Science Festival

Were Neanderthals fussy eaters? What can bones tell us about a person’s life? How were stone tools made? What happened to this animal after its death? What did ancient Mesopotamia smell like? Science can help archaeologists answer these questions and many others.

Join researchers from the Department of Archaeology and discover the secrets revealed by pots, plants, soil, bones, textiles and maybe even fossilised poo! A drop-in event for all the family, running from 10.30am - 4pm.
