We had a very special visitor today - Aisling the Archaeologist! Aisling told us all about the archaeological periods of Irish History: Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Early Christian, Medieval, Early Modern, etc. We learned about the work of archaeologists and asked her lots of questions. Then Aisling allowed us to examine lots of replica artefacts that she had brought with her including a Bronze Age axe and lots of Viking items. She also allowed us to try on her diving helmet that she wears while working as an underwater archaeologist!
