How to use it

Dig in four simple steps.

Place the block in the tray and work slowly. Tap lightly, brush away the dust, then move on to the bracelet and scene.

01

Set up the space

Place the shaped block in the included tray on a clear, easy-to-clean work surface.

02

Tap and scrape

Use the hammer and chisel a little at a time. Do not hit hard when a piece is close.

03

Brush it clean

Use the brush to clear loose material and see the shape more clearly.

04

Make and build

Thread the colored beads into a bracelet, then use the finds, scene cards, timeline, and guidebook to build the Iron Age story.

Iron Age kit discoveries labeled helmet, rotary quernstone, meteorite specimen, and colored bracelet beads

What is hidden inside

Four finds to dig up, clean, and use.

Brush away the loose material to reveal four kinds of pieces. Check each one against the guide before using the beads and arranging the scene.

Helmet replicaA small themed piece representing protective headgear.
Rotary quernstone replicaA model of the hand-powered stone used to grind grain.
Meteorite specimenThe dark porous discovery is labeled as a meteorite in the product image.
Colored bracelet beadsThread the uncovered beads onto the included cord.

From first tap to finished scene

Six small actions make up the activity.

Tap, scrape, brush, identify, string, and arrange. Each step leads to something you can see or make.

01

Tap lightly

Use short, light taps and scrape a little at a time.

02

Compare the finds

Match the helmet, quernstone, meteorite, and beads with the pictures and notes in the guide.

03

Slow down near each shape

Switch from tapping to brushing as soon as part of a find appears.

04

Check the guide

Look up archaeology, artifact, helmet, quernstone, and Iron Age while the pieces are on the table.

05

String the beads

Thread the uncovered beads onto the included cord after the block is cleared.

06

Build the scene

Place the pieces beside the two scene cards and use the timeline to talk through the finished setting.

How you can use the kit

One box, three easy ways to set it up.

Finish everything in one session, or split it into digging, bracelet-making, and scene-building time.

An afternoon at home

Set it out for a weekend project, a quiet afternoon, a school break, or some time together.

A gift with something to do

Choose it for a young archaeology fan who would rather dig and make something than open another display toy.

A shared dig

Let two or three players take turns tapping, brushing, checking the timeline, stringing the beads, and arranging the cards.

Illustrated Iron Age guidebook, timeline poster, and scene cards included with the archaeology kit

Keep the guide nearby

Check the guide and timeline while the finds are still on the table.

Use the illustrated guidebook to identify each find, follow the timeline poster, and decide where the pieces belong beside the two scene cards.

Ask: What did the helmet protect? How did the rotary quernstone grind grain? Where does each find belong in the scene?

Safety notes before you start

Cover the table, keep the tray flat, and use light taps around each hidden piece.

Check the 6+ age label

The age label is 6+.

Stay nearby

Stay close while your child uses the hammer and chisel, especially near a partly exposed find.

Cover the work area

The included tray helps hold loose material and makes cleanup easier.

Work slowly around each find

Tap and brush gently instead of forcing the block apart.

Keep small pieces away from anyone under 3

The beads, cord, and excavated pieces are small. Keep every piece away from anyone under 3.
