Well, two Young Archaeologists choose some lovely objects to display, at least.
Some of you may remember my earlier post mentioning that the winners of the Young Archaeologist of the Year Award were coming to the museum. James and Jocelyn, and their families, had a great time exploring the stores. They examined, and handled, all sorts of artefacts including Roman glass, medieval pottery, prehistoric axes and Viking antler. As part of their prize the two winners picked some interesting objects to go on display, including a sword, stone tools and some gold.
Nicky Milstead, who helps run the Young Archaeologists’ Club, popped over to the museum today to help us put it all together. The objects Jocelyn and James chose make a really fun case full. I’m hoping we’ll leave the display in for a few weeks to allow other budding archaeologists to see what James’ and Jocelyn’s favourites were. Who knows, maybe they will be putting museum displays together in a few years time?
