It is a collaborative project, involving the Archaeology Service of the Peak National Park Authority and the Department of Archaeology and Prehistory at the University of Sheffield.
The education programme has helped to foster a greater awareness of archaeology amongst primary-school pupils, but it also had the knock-on effect of encouraging parents to visit the excavations at the insistence of their children.
If archaeology is to become more accessible and perhaps accountable, then its presentation, in all its interpretative uncertainty, can be no better conveyed than through the curiosity and enthusiasm manifested amongst a group of thirty primary school pupils.
