We chose to use Zoom because it is easier to use than some other similar programs. If you are not familiar with it, just email yb2u15@gmail.com and we will send a set of instructions and set up a trial run if necessary.

‘Jericho: An Ancient City Revealed’
MA Museum and Artefact Studies students at Durham University have, as part of their course, developed an online exhibition called ‘Jericho: An Ancient City Revealed’ with Durham University’s Oriental Museum, which was launched with a live event on 10th June.
The project is about pioneering archaeologist Dame Kathleen Kenyon and her influential work at the site of Ancient Jericho - one of the oldest cities in the world. The exhibition centres on the Oriental Museum’s collection of artefacts sent over from Kenyon’s excavations at Jericho, objects which have never before been on display. Alongside this the students created a podcast series and educational resources, including a game.
