On Saturday 5th December, we will be visiting the London Archaeology Archive, which is part of the Museum of London!
Based near Old Street tube station, the archive holds archaeological finds from over 5000 digs in London from the last 100 years.
The archive is not only the primary source of evidence of early London, but also a resource of international significance. Because of the richness of the items found and the historical importance of London, it continues to make an essential contribution to studies of the Roman empire, prehistoric and medieval Europe.
We are having a 90 minute guided tour of the archive where you will get to see some of the items that have been found from archaeological digs in London, from the early settlers right up to Victorian London.
The tour is limited to 40 people and we will be divided up into 2 groups of 20. The cost is £5 each, which includes tea/coffee and biscuits at the end.
This YouTube clip gives an idea of what they do: http://uk.youtube.com...
We will be meeting up at Old Street tube station, inside the tube station, near the ticket barriers at 1:30pm.
Look forward to seeing you there! If you can't see us at the station, please call.
