Come and see the museum at the Archaeology Show at Old Sarum this Saturday and Sunday.
We'll be showcasing some new material, including the Neolithic flint working study group seen below. There will also be a collection of Roman coins, and some recent battlefield finds from the First World War.
Neolithic people were more cultured and skilled than many people think. As well as creating a range of tools, they crafted jewellery and statuettes and engaged in trade and religious activity.
This collection explores the process of ‘flint knapping’, where everyday tools were made from locally found flint. These items are from West Surrey and date to c. 10,000 BC
