International Archaeology Day 21 Oct 2023

International Archaeology Day

International Archaeology Day, celebrated on the third Saturday of October, is a tribute to the fascinating world of discovering our past through ancient sites and artefacts. Archaeological organisations across the world present events such as scavenger hunts, lectures and interactive workshops, all programs to awaken your inner Indiana Jones. This day also piques our curiosity about the mysteries of the past and teaches us about societies and cultural heritage.
