Digging the Vikings! on Shetland

Meet a Viking and an archaeologist - handle replica objects, mint your own Viking coin and talk to Thorfinn Olafsson about life on Shetland over a thousand years ago. Then jump forward in time to learn about the science behind the stories from an archaeologist. Help to 'excavate' a Viking burial and search through Viking poo (fake!) to find evidence of their diet. An interactive event suitable for the whole family.
