Thousands of pot sherds are recovered on archaeological sites. The sherds assist in revealing site chronology and can tell stories about the activities conducted at this place. Perhaps a craft workshop, or a ritual building or even a domestic kitchen?
Live the life of an archaeological ceramicist – sort your sherds, examine them and write observational notes, reconstruct a pot, identify its place of use and tell a story about the site. This activity is recommended for Year 7s. Session can be completed in a single period.
