Education

Education and Public Archaeology are the main service areas underpinning our work.

We aim to:

• Promote archaeology by education at all levels.
• Heighten public awareness and interest in archaeology.

• Improve access to and interpretation of archaeological sites.

Our website is the latest step in our push to promote archaeology to a wider audience. The provision of information has always been given a high priority in the archaeology service. We provide regular press releases, a bi-annual newsletter, leaflets, booklets, talks, guided visits and walks, temporary exhibitions and have a permanent display at Norton Library.

In recent years our educational work has focused on providing practical hands on experience for people wanting to get involved in archaeology. This year we will be running several public involvement excavations across the Tees Valley.

AQA Archaeology AS level

Prior Pursglove Sixth Form College at Guisborough are offering the AQA Archaeology AS level starting September 2010 and then the A2 (to make the full A Level) starting September 2011.

There are 2 exams in the first year (AS) and coursework in the second (A2) year together with an exam.

“The Guisborough area, including the Tees Valley and the North York Moors is an area rich in archaeology of all periods.

From the Bronze Age burial mounds on the moors, to the Norman villages many of us live in; and not forgetting the industrial archaeology of the area which made many of the settlements of today.

There are few opportunities for people of this area to attend structured courses about archaeology and this course is led by somebody who has been involved in the archaeology of the area for many years.

As the head of Tees Archaeology, the local authority archaeological service for the area, I welcome this course and we look forward to working with the tutor and participants.“

Robin Daniels, Tees Archaeology
