People have lived on the Anglesey coast for thousands of years and have benefited from its abundance of natural resources.
Now there’s an opportunity for you to learn more about the archaeology of the AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) which encompasses three quarters of the Island’s coastline.
The Conwy-based Ancient Arts team will be spending the day at the Holyhead Breakwater Country Park on Saturday, March 13th.
They’ll bring displays of prehistoric artefacts and reconstructions of past skills and methods. Members of the public can even bring along their own artefacts so that archaeologists present can try to see how far they date back!
AONB Community Warden, Aled Lewis, explained, “This is a good opportunity for people to learn a bit about our ancestors, have a look at prehistoric tools and equipment, and possibly have a go at some ancient field skills yourself.
Officers from Gwynedd Archaeological Trust’s Coastal Change Project will also be on hand to talk about how coastal erosion is threatening and revealing archaeological sites and how you can help to restore and record them.
Feel free to visit the Ancient Arts Day at Holyhead’s Breakwater Country Park anytime between 11am and 4pm.
For any further information please contact AONB Community Warden, Aled Lewis, on 01248 751877.
