East Sussex Archaeology and Museums Partnership

SERVICES

ESAMP offers a wide range of services to schools, museums, universities and charitable bodies.

Schools Services
We offer a number of services to schools. We run an outreach service designed to bring archaeological periods to life for children in their own classroom. These day long sessions involve children in handling, recording and interpreting artefacts, looking at settlements, making copies of pots, weaving cloth, and looking at evidence from local sites. We cover periods from the Mesolithic (early hunter/gathers) through to the Victorian.

Over the last 12 years we have helped a number of schools build reconstruction buildings in their school grounds. We involve the children in all aspects of the building work and support the construction activities with a wide range of period based crafts. The buildings become a permanent resource for the schools; these structures can last up to 15 years and can be used as outdoor classrooms and imaginative spaces for historical and creative activities.

We are interested in working with schools to design sessions which reflect the particular learning goals of their children. Please contact us to explore any ideas which you have.

Services for Museums and Charitable Bodies
ESAMP has over 20 years experience of working in partnership with a range of organisations to create activities and displays which help the public engage with archaeological material.

We have carried out work as diverse as designing museum displays through to making models of sites and running training days in recording historical environments.

Please contact us if you would like to find out more about this work.
