Discover Archaeology Week
Discover more about Inner West archaeologists and their work as part of the 2023 Heritage Festival. Presented by Inner West Council Library and History in partnership with the Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology and the Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists Inc.
Curious to discover what archaeologists do, where they work and what they find? Join local Inner West archaeologists in an exploratory display of artefacts including those from the recent excavation of Fenwick’s building in Balmain and the old Marrickville Hospital site.
There is also the opportunity to handle and interrogate some of the artefacts and celebrate National Archaeology Week.
