Welcome to
Archaeology Live
Archaeology Live is over for another year, but if you can’t wait for more archaeological content, many of our videos from the 2021 and 2022 Festivals will be available all year round from November.
About the event
Archaeology helps us understand the stories of the past, of the people who walked this land before us, how they lived and died, and how that shaped the places that are familiar to us today.
Archaeology Live is the hybrid online and in-person festival organised by York Archaeology and The JORVIK Group to showcase different aspects of archaeology, from dig to display and beyond.

Archaeology helps us understand the stories of the past, of the people who walked this land before us, how they lived and died, and how that shaped the places that are familiar to us today. For our 2021 and 2022 Festivals, York Archaeology and The JORVIK Group hosted a series of events including videos, in-person events, and videos about fascinating archaeological gems in York, Sheffield and Nottingham. We headed below ground in York Minster, into the hidden river culverts of Sheffield and into the caves of Nottingham Castle for some exclusive tours, and also showed how some aspects of archaeology can be done without ever putting a shovel into the ground at Wollaton Hall.
