Students undertake an archaeological dig in the grounds of the school. They use various mathematical techniques to find and record the location of objects. Using this data and careful observation of the objects themselves they attempt to establish the history of the objects they find and how they might have come to be in the location found. Creative writing providesa tool through which they can attempt to articulate possible narratives to explain the connections. Finally they establish a framework which they can use to categorise the objects and using this framework they create a little ‘museum’ of the objects they found.
