Saturday 13 July, 11am-4pm. Meet curators and archaeology students and find out more about archaeology today, including finds from the Whitworth Park Archaeology Project and Dig Manchester. Learn about recent finds and find out about the region's Finds Liaison Officers and their work. Children can roll up their sleeves and fine tune their archaeology skills as they explore our dig boxes. We'll be smashing pots and exploring the science of putting them back together again. Don't miss 'Voices from the Ancient Worlds', a series of talks with archaeologists who feature in our new Ancient Worlds galleries.

Price: Drop-in, free, all ages
