The Unearth Archaeology Project

The MOWAA Archaeology project aims to involve students from Nigerian universities in cross-disciplinary learning, providingpractical exposure to live research and engaging them in creative community projects through the Unearth: Discovering Archaeology Together program. Achieved not only through on-site programs but also via annual placements at distinguished institutions such as the British Museum alongside other UK partners, the initiative is poised to cultivate a vibrant exchange of knowledge among young Nigerian archaeologists, keeping the past as much alive as possible in the present. 

The envisioned project endeavours to significantly enrich the realm of archaeology on both a national and international scale. Its multifaceted approach encompasses the delivery of a meticulously researched pre-construction mitigation program, coupled with the establishment of a thorough archaeological archive while also educating and developing the next generation of Archaeologists and Heritage Management Specialists in Nigeria.
