Event Information: *Deadline: midday on Thursday 7 March 2024*.

At the UCL Institute of Archaeology Summer School, A Taste(r) of the Past, you will explore how science, art and the humanities collide in helping us research, investigate & trial how our ancestors lived, and specifically what they ate, in the past. The course will include practical study in the classroom, investigating the Archaeobotanical (the study of ancient plant remains within the field of archaeology) collection in the Institute of Archaeology lab as well as experimental archaeology sessions focusing on just how our ancestors processed their food, giving us a glimpse into the diets of the past. We will also be focusing on what this tells us about movement and migration of people & cultures, specifically in London. You will also go on trips to museums across London, you will also visit the Thames foreshore working with Archaeologists from the UCL Institute of Archaeology in looking for any remains that can give us an insight into how London ancestors were processing their food.
