-Historic building surveys including medieval church buildings and fabric, symbolism in sculpture & iconography

-Traditional practices such as votive offering.

-Identifying and recording carvings and old graffiti.

-Museum curation

-Workshops in oral history, including sensory archaeology (archaeology of the senses i.e. touch, smell etc.)

-Ceramic workshops

-Mosaic workshops

A full cultural programme will include visits to historic and archaeological sites
