“Secrets of the Solent”, a resource pack for pupils at key stage 2, explores the challenges and excitements of marine archaeology. We learn about how divers operate, why shipwrecks are an important source of evidence as time capsules and how artefacts can be described and identified. We are also introduced to some fascinating submerged landscapes and the effect of changes in sea level. It can be downloaded from the website: www.hwtma.org.uk
