RNIB College Worcester – May 2006

One of the advantages of studying archaeology is that it has very practical applications to curriculum learning programmes. The Archaeology Service has designed three sessions with partially sighted pupils which aim to develop analytical skills by handling pottery artefacts. The aim is to introduce students to changes in technology from the prehistoric period onwards, allow them to make coil pots, examine changes in design and origin from the medieval into the early post-medieval period, and to analyse pottery in an archaeological context in order to draw conclusions about the specific past communities represented. The overall scheme has been put together to complement a particular college syllabus for the partially sighted.
