Join Manchester Metropolitan University’s Archaeologist Dr Faye Simpson and find out what it’s really like to be an Archaeologist in Manchester and how this compares to working on Channel 4’s Time Team.
Faye will discuss why being involved in a real archaeological excavation, happening right now in Manchester’s Birley Fields, is far more exciting than watching it on or even being on the telly.
