What to expect

Something strange has been discovered in the peat at Corlea....

A body lies scattered across the bog and its up to you to uncover the truth!

As a BCIS team member, dig and find a body, grave goods etc. Follow the clues, search for evidence

But beware - not everything buried in the bog gives up its secrets!

A scary but fun archaeology activity for 7 -12 years.

Adult supervision is a must.
