Explorathon: Uncovering our Aberdonian Ancestors

What have the recent excavations at St. Nicholas Kirk told us about the hidden past of Aberdeen's Maritime history?

We'll explore the growth of the North Sea fishing industry and commodities trade in the medieval period – a vital time in European early modern history. Like today, Aberdeen was then a boomtown, but how did life change for the inhabitants of Medieval Aberdeen? 

You can find out more about the Mither Kirk Project on their website.

This event is FREE to attend and no booking is required.

This event is part of EXPLORATHON 2014.
