Miniature Excavation Site: Dig, Find, Share!

Pera Kids
Ages: 7-12

  • April 20, 2023 / 10:30

We're doing an archaeological dig at the museum! Participants first learn about what archeology is and its methods, then follow the basic principles of archeology at the miniature excavation sites in the workshop and try to uncover the traces of the past with tiny replicas of some of the artifacts from The Art of Weights and Measures exhibition. In the workshop, where different stages such as sifting the soil, recording the stratigraphy, taking photos, drawing the trench and filling the excavation diary will take place with teamwork, the participants finally comment on their findings and talk about archeology.

Medicinal Herbs in Byzantium

Knowledge of plants and the practice of healing are closely entwined. The toxic or hallucinogenic nature of some roots, and the dangers associated with picking them, conferred a mythical or magical character and power.
