Heritage Lottery Fund grant helps York school children to participate in archaeology
YOUNGSTERS from three York schools have been taking part in an archaeological dig.
Pupils from Lord Deramore and Badger Hill primary schools and Archbishop Holgate CE secondary school are spending this week working with experts from the University of York’s Department of Archaeology on the latest exploratory excavations on the site university’s campus expansion at Heslington East.
It is part of a major new initiative, backed by a £27,500 Heritage Lottery Fund grant, to increase public participation in archaeological investigation of Heslington East.
