Introduction

The Box Plymouth (formerly Plymouth City Museum & Art Gallery) has been collecting local archaeology for over a century. In total it holds more than 700 local archaeological archives. Sites recognised as being of national importance are the Bronze Age settlement at Shaugh Moor, the Early Bronze Age cist at Whitehorse Hill, the prehistoric port of Mount Batten in Plymouth and the Early Medieval trading site at Bantham Ham. In addition, the Post-medieval imported pottery collections recovered from Plymouth are recognised as one of the largest and most important in Northwestern Europe. Plymouth also holds the collection from the Cattewater Wreck, the first shipwreck to be designated by the UK Government under the 1973 Protection of Wreck Act.

If you are planning an archaeological project which falls within our collecting boundary and are intending to deposit with us, please refer to our conditions and charges. Full details are available via our website

Our policy is that the documentary archives for archaeological projects are deposited with the Archaeology Data Service.
