In the beginning of the 1990s, the school curriculum in the UK changed in an unprecedented, dramatic way. Chances for a centre like the Ancient Technology Centre (ATC) are now extremely limited. But there is a need for educators and archaeologists to work together, because:
1. the archaeological heritage is rapidly being destroyed;
2. there is strong public interest in archaeology;
3. archaeology can reveal evidence of the entire past which may be of considerable service to us in the present.
So you have to give children practical advices which they enjoy.
