The Priene Ancient City Site Administration Organized an Archaeology Workshop for Children

As part of the 2nd Priene Culture Festival organized by the Söke Municipality, we, the Priene Ancient City Site Administration, held an Archaeology Workshop for children. The children who participated in the workshop first discovered artifacts hidden underground; they then recorded their finds on find sheets and conducted an inventory. At the end of the process, they received “Young Explorer” certificates from the experts and experienced a small-scale excavation. Through this workshop, we sought to help children experience and understand cultural heritage and the importance of preserving it. Söke District Governor Mr. Ali Akça and Söke Mayor Dr. Mustafa İberya Arıkan visited the archaeology workshop and presented the certificates to the young explorers. May 9, 2026
