Animals have been essential to people for thousands of years - for food, company, and transport - and their bones can tell us so much about the past!

Whether you found some on a dig, on a walk, or in your back garden, animal bones are full of clues. What do archaeologists do with bones? How do you identify them? And what secrets can they reveal?

This week, Community Archaeologists Johanna and Indie will be showing off our collection of animal bones from our recent excavation at Earth Trust in Oxfordshire - including horses, cows, sheep, dogs, and a couple of surprises!

You'll get to see some of the best bones we found, watch them being cleaned, and find out what they can tell us about people (and animals) in the past. You'll even get to try identifying some yourself!

It's the perfect workshop for anyone who wants to learn more about ancient animals, and why archaeologists are so fascinated by their bones. We hope you're ready to learn, have some fun, and join us for another week of archaeology... at home!
