Since opening in 2010, The Big Dig Archaeology Education Centre in Sydney has welcomed over 70,000 students aged 5 to 18 years to participate in school learning programs. Students use the process of inquiry to ‘work like an archaeologist’ in purpose-built classrooms on a site which spans the Colonial to Federation periods of Australian history (1795-1914). Using data collected from teacher evaluations we identify four key factors that contribute to successful learning for students in our archaeology programs.
