About

Children aged 6 to 12 take part in a hands-on mock archaeological excavation at the Lattara archaeological site (Henri Prades museum) in Montpellier on 19–20 September 2026, as part of the European Heritage Days.

The association Acanthe, from the master's programme in Heritage Promotion and Mediation at the University Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3, organises this activity as part of the 43rd edition of the European Heritage Days at the Lattara archaeological site and Henri-Prades museum.

The workshop is aimed at children between 6 and 12 years old and introduces them to the archaeologist's profession through a playful, participatory excavation experience. Using appropriate tools, young participants uncover objects, observe them and document their finds in a research log.

The activity is designed to convey the everyday gestures of archaeological fieldwork and to spark curiosity about the richness of archaeological heritage.
