Learning and research.
Creating and sharing knowledge about the human past is what archaeology is all about. Aurelius offers a range of services including talks, workshops, and bespoke training, as well as traditional research, geared towards creating new understandings of the ancient world and delivering that understanding to diverse audiences.
Heritage engagement.
Archaeology is heritage you can handle and experience in a way that simply reading a history book can’t manage. Research now shows that engagement with archaeology can have a profound effect on people’s wellbeing and sense of wonder, with many of us knowing well the feelings of awe that can be felt when appreciating the archaeology all around us, and the stories it can reveal.
Aurelius was founded on the belief that archaeology should not take place in an ‘ivory tower’, but that communities should be empowered to engage with the material remains of the past on their own terms. Whether you are running a heritage-themed event, revamping your museum’s displays, or just generally looking to make the most of your collections, let Aurelius take the legwork out of archaeological research and create engaging and educational stories that your audiences can wonder at.

Every collection, site, or museum is different, and able to tell different stories using archaeology. Aurelius believes that these stories are worth celebrating, utilising your archaeology to its maximum potential.

“Adam was a pleasure to work with throughout the Crafts and Communities project. Adam was able to use his knowledge to engage non-traditional heritage audiences with skill and enthusiasm. He has also delivered excellent training workshops to our volunteers and others working within our store. I’d happily recommend working with Adam on outreach projects or to deliver Roman pottery training to non-specialists.”
