Get hands-on with Surrey's past with the help of the Surrey County Archaeological Unit loan boxes. We have a number of boxes available:
- Prehistoric (Stone, Bronze and Iron Age)
- Roman
- Medieval and Tudor
- Medieval and Tudor (Woking Palace)
- First World War (Witley Camp)
- First and Second World War
- MiniDigs - Be an archaeologist and excavate real finds
Each box is packed with real artefacts excavated from archaeological sites around Surrey, and replica items to show you what they would have originally looked like. They also each come with a Learning Pack containing information about the artefacts, a summary of the period, case studies of Surrey sites, and suggested activities. These boxes are perfect for schools and community groups.
Each box costs £30 to hire for two weeks and must be collected and returned to the Surrey History Centre in Woking.
If you would like more information, or to book a loan box, please contact the Community Archaeologist on email: education.scau@surreycc.gov.uk or telephone: 01483 518737
