Ancient History rediscovered with Macquarie University

Students from Wyong Christian Community School and Green Point Christian College joined together with students from St Philip’s Christian College for an Ancient History incursion here at SPCC Gosford.

Students were involved in a seminar taught by Alex Kunjappa from Macquarie University, who identified some of the most recent finds at the archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Students were then involved in a practical archaeological experience, utilising a range of source materials to construct a narrative of the life in the Roman world. They sifted through organic materials and analysed coins and skeletal remains.
