Explore an archaeology Finds Room - Short Tour

There’s much more to archaeology than the trenches. We can learn loads from post holes, pits and ditches – but they only form one part of the larger picture. The artefacts uncovered during an excavation give us insight into the people, beliefs and lifestyles of the past.

But how do archaeologists learn more from artefacts? And what happens to them after they’ve been carefully lifted and taken off site?

Step into our Finds Room at Lindisfarne for a close-up look at the artefacts from our 2022 excavation. With Johanna and our team of Finds Room Venturers, you’ll learn what happens to all our amazing finds once they’ve left the trench, and how the Finds Room is a very important part of the dig.
