Event details

Come explore and reconstruct archaeological sites using the creative video game Minecraft! Archaeologists at the University of York are reconstructing the two historic sites of Star Carr and Breary Banks in Minecraft. With virtual reconstructions we can test ideas about ancient landscapes, different interpretations of building techniques, and how people lived in the past. We welcome expert builders, but no knowledge of archaeology or Minecraft required.
