Resources for Collectors
We are working to create resources to support Palaeolithic artefact collecting on the North Norfolk coast. Resources will include a guide on how to recognise worked flint, how best to document your finds, and a general guide to the Palaeolithic archaeology of the Happisburgh area.
Whilst we are creating our new resources you might like to take a look at some posters that we created for our Being Human event at the Wenn Evans Centre in 2019. Click on the links to see the poster images as pdfs.
Reconstruction of Happisburgh Site 3
Resources for Schools and Families
We are working to create resources that can be used by schools and families to support learning at Key Stages 1 and 2. Look out for fun activities coming in time for the October half-term holiday!
