If you caught us on Digging for Britain earlier this year and wondered, 'Who did the coin hoard belong to?', 'Where did they live?', 'How did they live?' — then don’t miss the Sizewell C Archaeology Open Weekend this weekend!
This will showcase:
Finds from our excavations as part of the Sizewell C development site
Insights into the archaeology already uncovered through this work
A chance to meet the archaeologists working on the site
Family activities, including “Make Your Anglo-Saxon Village” and “Create Your Own Medieval Coin”
Plus, coin specialist Alexander Bliss will be giving talks on the remarkable coin hoard (at 11am and 1:30pm each day)
