Soham Community Dig: In the Footsteps of St Felix

‘It’s just so satisfying.’ One of the Soham Village College students explains what it feels like to take part in a dig. Led by our community engagement specialists, this special project included digging test pits and identifying finds to photograph, scan and put through environmental flotation. It was a chance to find out more about different career opportunities as well as learning new skills, building confidence and teamwork. Discover more as the young people participating share all about the experience. Look out for a little cameo from a fluffy site supervisor, Cyril.

I love when you guys put out these longer videos. Such great production quality. Most likely as close as I’ll ever get to your museum so thank you!!

Wonderful idea getting students involved. This could inspire a new generation of archeologists!

At the very least it gets them outside and away from the video games. Maybe if we're lucky it will get them to appreciate learning about their history and how important it is to preserve it.
