Overview
The project archive housed with the ADS includes:
- The project database. This includes detailed information about all material culture found in formal mortuary contexts during the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age within our case study regions of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Dorset, Kent, East Yorkshire, Gwynedd and Anglesey, Orkney and the Outer Hebrides.
- A ‘Prehistoric Burial’ information pack for schools. Written by the project team, this is designed to help teachers teach prehistory at Primary School level. It includes general information about the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age across Britain (and burial during those times), as well three specific featured burials (including three poems written specifically for the project by Michael Rosen and three artists’ representations of our selected burials).
- A British Museum Trail. This document includes all of the labels that were fixed to cases within the main European prehistory galleries (50 and 51) of the British Museum as part of the 'Death, memory and meaning' grave goods trail, which ran from May 2019 to March 2020.
