Have you ever stopped to think about what your rubbish says about you? Is our rubbish really waste or could the next sweet wrapper we throw away be a clue for archaeologists of the future? Our rubbish can tell us how we are affecting the planet but also, it can provide an insight as to who we are, what we eat and what we value. Join Wessex Archaeology as we take a light-hearted look at the role of rubbish in the past and the future!

This film was produced by Wessex Archaeology for the Council for British Archaeology as part of the 2020 Festival of Archaeology.
