We have learnt about archaeologists and what their role is. We found out Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen in 1922 in Egypt. This tombs discovery took years, and was financed by Lord Carnarvon.
We became archaeologists ourselves, and tried to find some artefacts in a tray of earth. We had to be careful, so used gloves, as well as brushes and toothbrushes to sweep away the dirt from the objects we found.
We then took notes of all our discoveries, and made observations of the objects such as what we think they are, how long they are and are they in one piece.
Everyone did a fantastic job, and found some different artefacts in the soil.
What did you find?
What do you think they were used for?
Were all the discoveries really old objects? How do you know?
