Be a healer and an archaeological detective and help solve medical mysteries from the past!
Archaeologists dig for lots of things when we excavate, and sometimes we find skeletons. Skeletons can tell us many things, how old the person was when they died, whether they were male or female, and even if they had certain kinds of diseases.
In this activity, you’ll be going back over hundreds of years in time and you will meet a character suffering from a mystery illness. You’ll try to find out what is wrong with them, and then you’ll try to cure them using medieval herbs and remedies.
Do I need to bring anything?
Nope! We’ll provide everything you need, just bring yourselves and your enthusiasm!
