Mick Aston’s Young Archaeologists (Somerset) or “MAYA” is open to everyone aged 8–16 years. We get involved in all sorts of activities, including visiting and investigating archaeological sites and historic places, trying out traditional crafts, taking part in excavations, and lots more. You can see what we get up to by visiting our gallery.

We usually meet at the Museum of Somerset in Taunton on the morning of the first Saturday of each month.  For details Contact Us or see our Events page for our forthcoming activities.

The club has been set up in memory of Professor Mick Aston from the TV programme “Time Team” who was very keen to start a new Young Archaeologists Club for Somerset.

If you are aged between 8 and 16 and would like to join us please contact Liz and Natasha
