The exhibition Working in archaeology which will begin on 9th January and features photography by the Belgian Pierre Buch, and shows the wide range of activities that form modern archaeology. The exhibition has previously been shown in Paris at the UNESCO headquarters and will continue across Europe this year. The Archaeology in Contemporary Europe project aims to promote archaeology across the continent.
The exhibition has come to York in co-operation with the Archaeology Data Service, the leading British partner in the Archaeology in Contemporary Europe project, which works to preserve and make accessible digital data from archaeological work across the UK preserved in both a digital format and in hard copy. It is hosted at King’s Manor by the University of York’s Department of Archaeology.
Professor Julian Richards, Director of the Archaeology Data Service, said: “Working in Archaeology suggests answers to questions such as: What is an archaeologist? What do they do? The exhibition explores the diversity of the periods studied, the objects discovered, the tools used, the techniques involved and the many different ways of working and relating stories about the past to the public.” The exhibition comes shortly after the Department of Archaeology won a Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education as previously reported by the Yorker.
The free public exhibition runs from 9 January to 6 March at the King’s Manor, Exhibition Square, York and is available to view weekdays from 9.30am to 5.30pm.
