A Discovery Circle for those who interested in Archaeology
Details of the first meeting:
Leicester Vaughan College is launching an Archaeology Discovery Circle as part of the Festival of Leicestershire and Rutland Archaeology.
The first meeting will be on Tuesday July 28 at 2pm in the cafeteria of the Jewry Wall Museum in Leicester.
More about this Circle
The event will be lead and facilitated by Dr Ulla Rajala. As with our other Discovery Circles, this group will be a democratic cooperative learning platform and will foster active participation, co-learning and co-production.
In the founding meeting we will discuss what we want to do within the Discovery Circle, the best time and day for the meeting and what we want to call the group. We will work in collaboration with the Jewry Wall Museum so some finds handling will be available for the group. We could do city walks, read articles, watch Time Team videos and discuss topics – bring along your suggestions! We will also discuss how we want to run the Circle such as setting ‘ground rules’ and how we want to communicate what we are doing. You can get some ideas about this by looking at our City Explorer’s page.
The group will be free and open to all adults.
The Archaeology Discovery Circle will be a reimagining of the Vaughan Archaeological and Historical Society that was founded by W. G. Hoskins. We will do no fieldwork (unless people want to involve in contemporary archaeology) as Leicestershire Fieldworkers do fieldwalking and geophysics nor will we have traditional lectures as that is for Leicestershire Fieldworkers/Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical
Society.
