Archaeology has always sparked the imagination, conjuring up images of lost cities and buried treasures of the past. How do archaeologists know where to look? What are the tools employed to assist them in their search for answers in the past? Is there anything in Singapore to dig up? Unbeknownst to many, archaeologists have been quietly digging up Singapore for the past two decades. Join us for an evening of tales from the field and learn about the wonderful world of archaeology in our own back yard.
