For the f irst time\, the Department is fully opening its doors to the public\, givi ng people the opportunity to learn about and participate in the exciting r esearch being carried out here within ACE.\n\nYoung Archaeologists Stone T ools Research Team\n\nMost of the stone tools you see in museums or hear a bout on TV have names that suggest we know how they were used. In many cas es\, these names were created in the 19th century and just based on simila rities the stone tools had with familiar modern ones. As archaeologists\, we have inherited these names and many assumptions about how they were use d.\n\nWhat if we are wrong? What if we get some fresh eyes and agile young minds to think about it? We need you to join our research team. With a l ab coat on and a microscope in front of you\, your task will be to examine a range of Stone Age tools and to tell us what you think they were used f or by our ancestors. Remember we only want fresh eyes for this investigati on – archaeology professors need not apply.\n\nHand to Handle Exhibition Tour\n\nFollowing your investigation\, get a guided tour of the Hand to H andle Exhibition by Professor Larry Barham and have the opportunity to ask questions about the exhibit to the lead excavator himself.\n\nWhile aimed at children and teenagers this activity is fun for all the family.\n\nDur ation: 45 minutes\n\nPlease note that photographs and footage will be take n throughout Garstang Festival of Archaeology\, Classics and Egyptology. T hese will be used by the University for marketing and publicity in our pub lications\, on our website and in social media or any third party publicat ion. Please contact the event organiser if you have any concerns or if you wish to be exempted from this activity.
